I chose a black and white striped jersey. When working with jersey, I recommend using a ballpoint needle in your machine. Depending on the stretch in your jersey, it may be better to use a zigzag stitch; otherwise use a serger.
I also recommend playing the Rudolph Mambo while making these scarves for Christmas. This song just makes me happy. It also makes me want to prance around my sewing studio.
Anyway, I digress. Back to the infinity scarf!
Dimensions: My fabric was 60 inches wide. I folded the fabric selvedge together. I measured 12 inches down. Laying flat the infinity scarf dimensions 60 (w) and 12 (l). I like my infinity scarves extra long so I can loop them around twice.

Some of you may be wondering why make gifts you can easily buy?
Sweet Reminder No.1: Time is not money. We can choose to convert our time into money. We can also choose to convert our time into gift giving, gift making, listening, loving, encouraging, etc...We can do whatever we want with our time. It is a beautiful and precious gift, but we can't make more of it. We cannot purchase it. We are all allotted the same amount. Time is not money. As this Christmas season approaches, don't skip over the beautiful precious gift that you can give of your time.
I choose to convert my time into handmade gift giving. How will you choose to convert yours?

I love infinity scarfs! I want to make some homemade presents so this series will be a huge help to me!
ReplyDeleteYay! I am so glad you stopped by. Stay tuned I will be posting new tutorials Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!

I'm glad you think the scarf is "giveaway worthy" that made my day. Thank you!
DeleteOh man, oh man! I don't think there is anyone that wouldn't want one of these! Handmade stuff is so much more meaningful but not everyone can do it! I try to support local shoppes and folks on Etsy if I'm really wanting to give something homemade! You just can't beat the quality!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that handmade is more meaningful, but I also definitely understand if you cannot do it yourself then support those who can! Hee hee! I love that idea. I will be posting more handmade ideas this month so stay tuned. Even if you aren't exactly a sewing whiz some of the projects will take very little sewing skills.
DeleteJudy, if I buy the fabric will you help me make one? I'll even buy a used sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteHi Mom! Lol! Yes, I can show you how to make one. No need to buy a machine; just practice on mine!
DeleteI really wish my sewing machine worked. I've had three different ones and all three have broke while I was still learning how to sew. The only thing I ever accomplished sewing was a dog pillow LOL. I currently have my mom's Kenmore, but I lost the power cord. So I need to order a new one. It really bugs me that I can't make something like these scarfs unless I sew by hand and uh, NO THANKS! LOL
