[DIY Tutorial] Infinity Scarf!

We are back with another tutorial! One of our most popular classes for you to make on your own at home.. the infinity scarf! VERY simple and easy to make and wear!

Materials needed:
0.8 metres of jersey stretch fabric
Matching thread
Quilting ruler
Chalk
Fabric Shears
Iron & Iron board
Sewing machine

Instructions:
1) Lie the fabric flat on the table, folded in half with good sides together and salvaged edge closest to you.

2) Trim the two raw ends so that they are parallel. (Not the salvaged edge)

3) On one of the salvaged corners of the fabric, use chalk to mark four inches up. Use the ruler, and chalk a line descending to the other salvaged corner. This is to create a nice cascading final look for the scarf. (Click to enlarge)

4) Sew the fabric good sides together on the chalked line, then trim excess neatly.

5) Press seams open.

6) Stretch the tube to give it shape, flip it inside out and you're done!

How easy was that! Congrats on a fabulous new scarf. Psst- share what you wear with yours!

[DIY Tutorial] Headbands!

Headbands are so multipurpose and can be styled in so many ways. They can be worn anytime and anywhere; exercise, studying, formal events, parties, and more. Add a flower for a girly touch, braid leather and suede for a boho look, or stud it for some rocker style! Follow this short and easy tutorial to make your own headband~

Materials needed:
Sewing machine
0.4m of elastic (width, elasticity, colour is up to you)
Matching thread
Fabric shears
Measuring tape
Pin

Instructions:

1. Take the measuring tape and wrap it around your head where you want the headband to sit. Use that measurement and cut the elastic to that length. (We used 22")

2. Fold the elastic in half, good sides together, pin the ends together about an inch from the edges.

3. Sew the ends together half an inch from the ends. The elastic should now look something like this, except the ends will not be curled since we are sewing them down in the next step.

4. Lay the elastic flat, bottom side up, flatten the two raw edges down and sew straight down both edges.

Tada, You have just made your own basic headband!
Add your own touch. Experiment with multiple elastics, try different thicknesses, add a flower, stud it; the possibilities are endless!

Here are some headbands we've experimented with..
For the braided look, make the braid first then attach them together with a smaller version of the headband you just made!














Till next time, Happy Sewing!

Enjoy your new headbands :)
