Day 2: 16 Days of Creating - Ruffle Scarf

A while back, I saw this cute scarf in the girls section at a department store. It came with a shirt that I really didn't care for, but the scarf caught my eye. I did my usual "I could make that!" (Has anyone else ever said that before, or is it just me?) Anyway. This is a super-easy project. Here's how I did it:

STEP 1:

Gather materials: fleece, 1/8" elastic, and sewing machine. That's it!

STEP 2:

Cut a strip of fleece about 4" wide. Mine was 54" long, but you can adjust depending on the size of your scarf-wearer! Cut 2 pieces of elastic about 10" shorter than the scarf. (Again, adjust if you want, depending on the amount of ruffle you prefer).

STEP 3:

Divide the fleece roughly into thirds and pin the elastic on at the one-third and two-third "lines".  You could also do just 1 strip of elastic down the middle.

STEP 4:


Sew it on and you're done! I meant to have Ginny model this, but since she was a LITTLE SLOW (please note: much sarcasm) getting ready this morning, it didn't happen.

And someday (Maybe November??) these 80-degree days in Iowa will be gone so Ginny can start wearing her new scarf!
