Recently, Kim from petit pas did a guest post on my friend Talia’s blog. It was a tutorial on how to make your own t-shirt scarf, and I was inspired.
So today, I hit the op-shops and came across the perfect shirt, a very large jersey cotton men’s shirt with no side seams for $4.50, in red. Wonderful!
The project only took me about 10 minutes. I had to make a few changes to Kim’s tutorial though, because I have no sewing machine at the moment (the beautiful Husqvarna I’ve been baby-sitting for the past 4ish years has gone home to its Mama *sad*).
Whereas Kim cut the strips completely off, I left them all attached. So I cut to about half an inch off the edge. Then I cut a little strip off the left-over piece of t-shirt and tied and knotted it round and round the piece that was joining all of the strips:
I’m happy with the finish, and no sewing! Easy peasy
Here’s my brand new $4.50 cotton jersey scarf:
I quite like it…
What do you think?

ReplyDeleteso great to hear my post inspired you and you made a scarf for yourself. It looks awesome! nice work.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you did it without sowing. Have to keep that in mind next time I make one.
Have a great day.
