how-to of the day: making a fringed scarf
I’ve had this piece of fabric for… well - let’s just say it’s time to use it :-)
I bought it as a “mixed fiber” bolt end - it’s only about 14 inches wide and 44 inches long. It feels like a rayon or acetate blend and I love the flowers and burnout detailing.
It’s one of those little pieces of fabric that tends to accumulate in stashes - I bought it because it was pretty, not because I had a plan for it - oops! It’s too small for a tank top or camisole and too lightweight for a purse.
I think it would make a pretty scarf - but it’s a just a little short for my taste. I think a fringe would finish off the ends nicely - but I don’t really want to have to go out and buy a pre-made fringe.
What’s a fiber-aholic to do?
Go diving for yarn of course :-)
I pulled these out of my stash and quite like the effect. They pull out the accent colors from the fabric, but I don’t think they’ll overwhelm the delicate print and fabric.
I’ll show the next step tomorrow :-)
