I have long been a fan of Project Runway with Heidi Klum and Tim Gun. They always take the contestants to Mood Fabric to purchase their supplies. So, when Mood invited us to be affiliates for them, I jumped at the chance! First, I hopped on their website and ordered this gorgeous knit fabric. I've been on an infinity scarf kick over the holidays, crocheting a bunch of them for the women in my family. I decided to try my hand at sewing a couple of them for Lindsey and Alicia as well. (Maddy says that she doesn't wear scarves.) The nice thing about making infinity scarves is that from 2 yards, you can get two scarves, so they make an inexpensive gift. You can give to two people or keep one for yourself and give one away. Supplies Needed:
Directions:
Pin the side, leaving both ends open. 3. Stitch 5/8th of an inch along the edges. I was able to use lines on the fabric to help me keep my lines straight. 4. After stitching the side, reach your hand through an end and pull the other end up to match raw edges together. This will cause the right sides to be together. Pin around the top of the edges to sew the ends together, but leave a 4 to 5 inch opening on one side for turning. 5. Sew around the pinned area, starting and stopping at the opening, then turn the scarf right side out through the opening. 6. Use a needle and thread to stitch the opening closed, folding in the seam allowance. This fabric from Mood is so soft and has such a nice drape to it! Wear the scarf by putting it over your head, give it a twist and then put it over again. Then, arrange and fluff the cowl around your neck. Lovely! A scarf can really complete an outfit and add warmth to your neck that helps to keep the rest of you warm through the chilly winter months. I'm pretty excited to try out some other fabrics to match some outfits of my own and I know just where to shop! The first time you log onto Mood, they will offer you a 15% discount. And, when they sent me my order, I received a coupon for my next order! There is also a sale button that you should check out on their site! It is so much fun shopping for fabric from the comfort of my computer chair! Check out this print that I just found on sale! Later, I'll share my crochet pattern for an infinity scarf. They make up so quickly and depending on the type of yarn you use and the stitch you use, they have so many different looks. If you start now, you can sew and crochet all of your gifts for next year in no time!
