10 Minute DIY Infinity Scarf

I love scarfs.

{Have you seen this amazing video?}





Just within the last year I really started to feel comfortable wearing them, and I've collected quite the assortment of them since.

I was given 4 for Christmas this year alone.
{Me thinks people know I like to wear scarfs!}

I think I have about eight, plus a few t-shirt DIY scarf/necklaces I've already made this season.

So needless to say, yesterday morning when I was looking for a fun embellishment for my black sweater, the last thing I needed to do was make a new scarf.

But alas, I'd just been given this material and it was calling my name.


The mornings are already chaotic though, so I really didn't have time to hem around the whole edge of a scarf as was described by the friend who gave me the material.

So, I decided to cheat, and make a quick infinity scarf. Here is what I did.

First I cut my material to a width I liked.


Then trimmed it into one for me and one for a friends little girl (any takers?)


Then folded it in half



And sewed the raw edges together

(It would have been better to pin the material, but I was in a hurry)

I then flipped it so the seam was inside

(to flip it I scrunched it on my hand like this, held one end and pulled the other over it)

And sewed the ends together 


Trimmed the ends to the stitch line


Tad-da!






Finitto.

It hardly took any time at all and would have taken less if I hadn't been taking pictures. 

I think I just found my next project for the rest of my material




Ooooo La La!
