A few months back I made a winter vest out of a scarf for my daughter.
When I was given this 'summer' scarf last week, I thought it would be another good scarf for a girls refashion.
The design I had in mind was fairly easy, so my 7 year old was able to help.
First up we cut some length off the scarf.
I will admit that at this point I hadn't nutted out in my head exactly what we were doing. As a result we cut off too much fabric, and had sew some of the offcuts back on later.
We chopped off the tassels.
Then I got out the trusty jumbo chalk to help me work out how the neck and shoulders would sit.
After cutting around the chalk lines, I zigzagged the edges to stop them fraying before pinning and sewing the two piece together.
After I sewed the fabric back onto the bottom that I had cut off in my haste at the begining of this project, we sewed the side seams, and hemmed the bottom.
Done.
Colour blocking?

We had a wonderful day out with friends at the Lismore Makers Market. This perfectly matching headband was purchased for just $4, and there were lots of other things on offer for little girls, from which my girls chose a cute fairy garden necklace and a felt hair clip.
I was so glad we were invited to attend these markets as I'm not sure I would have made it along otherwise. What amazing, inspiring, and creative people there are in the Northern Rivers of NSW. My favorite 'Makers' included potters, a lead light'er', and a variety of jewellers working with a range of mediums, including; resin, wood, silver, and ceramic - I wish I could have gone wild and financially supported all these amazing 'creaters'.
