You know how sometimes you’ll be watching a cooking show and the “recipe” ends up being open packet of biscuits and place it next to open container of dip. You roll your eyes and mutter about how that’s not a recipe, that’s just assembly.
That’s a little how I feel about this project, it’s less sewing and more just assembly. The silk is from Pitt Trading, it’s ridiculously lightweight. A whole metre can basically be folded into the space a handkerchief would fit in to.
Initially I had thought of making a blouse but honestly it’s so lightweight and lovely as it is I didn’t want to mess with it too much. Cue putting it away for a bit of time until I decided what to do with it? I found it again as I was hunting for something else special I had tucked away and knew immediately what I wanted to do.
Swapping my overlocker into roll hem mode I went around the entire outside edge, smoothing off the corners to be slightly rounded. If I include the resetting of the dials on my overlocker the whole thing took less than 10 minutes. Sewing win! and I have a pretty new scarf all ready for the cooler weather (if it turns up).
Pattern: – um there wasn’t one?
Fabric: From Pitt Trading
Changes: watch the beginning/end point of the roll hem to get a smoother transition
