How to make a scarf
June 7, 2008
Headscarves are quite easy to make but then the type of material one selects for the scarf is very important. Filmy, flimsy fabrics are ideal. Lace, silk or satin are dressy choices also but the problem is these fabrics are somewhat harder for some people to sew. They tend to slip and slide around a lot while stitching making it difficult to get stitches exact and on the other hand, thicker, loosely woven cloth is more appropriate for winter months as thick fabrics are quite easier to sew but do not look as delicate as a lightweight scarf.
One can either make it out of the same fabric and trims as your skirt, or you can select an alternate sparkly fabric that coordinates well with other items in your ensemble. In some special case, you can wear two skirts; the overskirt was a circle skirt in the same red and gold fabric and the underskirt can be made of the same red tissue lamé as the scarf.
For a nice variation, make three of these scarves, each in a different color of tissue lamé, and then braid them together. Tie the braid around your head in whatever style you choose, and let the ends dangle free. This looks great for a Christmas show, in which one can use red, green, and gold together. Let us see simple way for how to make a scarf. Cut the fabric in a square of 23″X23″. Flimsy fabrics are hard to cut straight so lay a book or something square and heavy on top of the fabric before cutting to keep it from shifting and then now measure and fold the edges of the scarf under a half-inch then a half-inch again, then pin the scarf all the way around the edges, measuring to make sure the hem will be straight.
Start at the corner and sew a couple of stitches then back-tack. Begin sewing the hem making sure not to pull the fabric as if you allow the flimsy material to pull through on its own it will tend to bunch. Rather, hold a small portion of the hem down against the machine with thumb and finger spread apart, guiding it as you go as this will prevent the bunching and keep you from pulling it as well. When you get about a half-inch from the next corner stop and turn the fabric and then follow the same instructions, sewing up to each corner and turning.
