Now that my "Create Space" room is mostly complete, I've challenged myself to create something at least once a week. I don't have much time this week because I'm preparing to go to another school for their WASC visit, so I need to shop, buy some boots, and a few updated accessories. While I'm out shopping, I see an adorable scarf at Free People, $48. The scarf below is not the one I saw but it is similar. The one I saw was made with three pieces of old lace, sewn together to create a whimsical, vintage, hippie look that I loved. Thinking to myself, "I have old lace that I bought on eBay a while ago to make into napkins. You could make this."
When I got home, there in my linen box were the three pieces of lace. Beautiful three pieces apx. 60" each piece. So here's what I did:
Measured width of lace so that I had an end piece wide enough to sew on top. Carefully cut it out, going around the lace pattern.
I finished the edges with a serge stitch, No. 8 on my sewing machine.
Then, put the pieces together and stitched on top, again serge stitch No. 8.
Super easy, finished scarf!
Happy creating!
