While we had the sewing machine out for the baby bedding, I figured I would work on a quick project that I have set aside since winter.
I have a handful of scarves that are an awkward length scarf-wise. I don’t get all fancy with my scarf tying, but the few ways I finagled these scarves they always looked awkward because they were too short.
So in the middle of this winter, I started using safety pins to make them infinity scarves. Doing so made them just perfect!
Grace is an apathetic model.
I had four scarves that I wanted to turn into infinity scarves. I just put the two ends together and sewed a straight line down the ends. It was a a little trickier than I had imagined to keep the fabric still for a straight line. I ended up having to use a lot of pins to keep them together so it wasn’t a complete zig-zag hem once I was done with it.
So there you have it. An easy upcycle to transform normal scarves into infinity scarves. Now these four scarves that I hardly ever wore will probably see a lot more than the inside of my closet.
Have you been doing any fun projects lately? Any ways to turn around a piece of clothing that may have otherwise been dead to you?
That’s definitely my favorite way to upcycle scarves too!
It’s so easy! Great minds think alike!
I love the floral one! This is a really good idea. I have a few scarves from work that are kind of an awkward length.
The floral one is one of my favorites but it was so flimsy as a regular scarf. It is so much better now!
Great idea!
Thanks! I have them occasionally!
So awesome! I really need to bust out my sewing machine. I want to make some cloth wipes for the babe.
I wish I had a place where I could keep my machine out all the time. I feel like I would do WAY more projects if I didn’t have to set it up each time, hence the reason I am making these scarves in June and not January…
