Making Two Scarves out of One


Original large pink floral and bright pink scarf

Large Pink Floral Scarf

 I find that some of my scarves are a little large in size for me. So why not make two out of one large scarf?



Finding middle of pink floral scarf and cutting it in half.

Cutting Scarf

Find the middle of the scarf by folding it in half and then cut it all the way through from the bottom to the top edge. Now separate the two pieces of scarves. We will now begin to pin the first scarf to get it ready for sewing.



Instruction on how to start creating one of the new scarves

Creating the New Scarf

Take your right side of fabric and fold it over/on top of the left side of fabric. You will have right sides of fabric facing together. The shear floral fabric seen here will be on top of the bright pink fabric seen on the left side.

Pin Raw Edges Together

After folding the fabric to the other side, pin raw edges together and sew.

Sew Edge

 Sew pinned edge. Leave open the top and bottom edges of the scarf so you can pull your fabric through and turn it right-side out.



Instructions on how to turn fabric right-side out by putting you arm through the scarf.

Turning Fabric Right-Side Out

Put your arm through the top opening of the scarf, all the way to the other end at the bottom, until your hand is peeking through.



Instructions on graping scarf and pulling hand back through the fabric

Grasp Scarf and Pull Through

Grasp the scarf, as you see here, and then pull your hand and fabric back through to the other end.


Instructions on continuing to pull fabric through to the end

Pull Fabric

Continue pulling fabric through to the end and then your scarf will be right-side out and completed.
