I have an irrational love of infinity scarves. I am constantly buying and making new ones. A friend of a friend gave me this old blue gauze skirt this summer and though it's not my style, I held on to it.
So I finally figured out what to do with the skirt-make it into an infinity scarf! Actually, make it into THREE infinity scarves! Here's a little step-by-step tutorial of how I made them:
First, I cut the skirt apart along the seams. This resulted in three extra-wide panels.
Next I cut the panels in half along the long edge. This created six long rectangles of gauze.
For each scarf, I serged the short edges together along one side of the panels. The skirt was dyed ombre so I paired the light sides together so that the gradient of the scarf would go from dark to light and back to dark.
After serging the short edges together, I serged the other short edges so they wouldn't fray. At this point I had a skinny, long retangle of fabric for each scarf. The next step is to fold the long rectangle in half "hotdog style" and serge that long edge. This forms a tube.
Turn the tube inside out so all the seams are on the inside of the tube. Then handstitch the serged short edges together to connect the tube into a circle. And voila! Three new infinity scarves from a pretty blue ombre gauzy material!
Hope you liked my tutorial! Happy New Years!
