[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!

Cheers,

Vintage DIY

Dear sewing lovers,

As you might know our studio has started monthly themed sewing workshops. You learn how to sew very chic items for less than $50 and in less than 2 hrs. So in our search for March sewing projects we may have found it! March will most likely be VINTAGE DIY. What the heck is it? You go to a thrift or vintage store or even your mothers or...even your fathers closet and take something with a beautiful print. You can tell your mom that print worked in the 70's for a skirt but its time to up-cycle to a wearable item for today!

We took a scarf bought at Value Village over a year ago for $3. Its a beautiful print, so kinda hesitant to cut it up. BUT were all about experimenting so we cut it up to make a fabric clutch. Its fully lined with a basic black cotton fabric and the closure is just leather strips cut from a leather pelt found at Dressew (Bought during 50% off sale!! wooot). Just wrap the straps around the clutch and tie to close.

Our Vintage DIY clutch fits your iPhone, makeup, cards, money and even a slim epi leather LV wallet. Mind you our necks are now cold with no scarf...but that wont stop us from making a scarf another day!

Want to learn how to make a Vintage DIY Clutch, let us know and we will add it to the March sewing workshop line up.

DIY cause we can,
