Tomorrow is the last day at school, and I suddenly realised I hadn't made anything for the 4 colleagues I spend most of my time with.
So I cut strips of fabric 8 inches x width of fabric from Christmassy fabric and some velvet, and some pashminas that could be sacrificed.
I used a strip and a half (so a length appx 8 x 60 inches) of a plain fabric and a Christmassy fabric, and stitched them along the long sides, right sides together, all but the end 3 inches of each edge
Then I turned the scarf right way round, and stitched the two ends of one fabric together
I then folded back two ends of the second fabric to where where they should meet, and pressed them
I stitch the ends of the second fabric together, and machine stitched the opening along one long side, finally closing the final opening with hand sewing, and I now have four Christmassy, super soft, infinity scarves
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Very good, mine got rum truffles!
