Hey here's a post on accessories after a really long time...(I'll accept it that jewelry is much more fun to make). But now faced with an emergency (I need a scarflet desperately) I decided to make one. A re-purposed one.When a newly bought cami tears, I find it very irritating..The only thing the comes out of it is a dust cloth that you use to clean the showcase glasses once and then you throw it away. But what if it can be made into something else more worthwhile...Playing around with my pink knit cami I came up with this scarlet that is great to be worn when it is not very cold but still chilly. No machine sewing skills required for this project because I dont have a machine ;)
Materials Required
- Knit fabric (tubular knit). I cut mine from my cami. You could also cut from any old tshirt. Width 7" length 35" totally when cut open at one end. Extra fabric for the rosette (can be a different fabric/color also)
- hand needle and matching thread/ Scissors
There are two parts to this scarlet - the scarf and the rosette. We will do the rosette first. I am doing this rosette to resemble a rose flower that used to bloom in my childhood home. I would be so drawn to it that my mother would sometimes affectionately refer to me as "roja poo"(rose flower) after that particular flower.
