Scarf made from a t-shirt!

Here is an easy and fun project.  After having viewed a tutorial to make one, I just had to try it out for myself.  I made mine in purple, because I love purple (bet you couldn't tell that huh?! ;)  This is easy, takes very little time to make and is a no sew project, but I did use a few stitches instead of the fabric glue used in the instruction video.  I felt that my scarf had a nicer look with finishing mine in this way.

Supplies needed:

• t-shirt size XXL or XXXL  (I used an XXL one, bigger = fuller look)
• 9inch paper plate
• scissors
• fabric glue or sewing supplies

In addition:  I made another scarf and have the steps I used to finish it with the sewing method and the finishing details.

1. This photo shows the two sides of all the pieces, after being sewn.   I stacked the pieces for both sides, trimmed them off and then stacked them together.  I stitched them together (notice the small white spot). 
2. Also I cut an extra piece from the t-shirt leftovers to be used to tie around the area stitched.

3. Wrapped the extra piece around the scarf.

4. Wrapped around it again.

5. Tied a knot in the back.

6. The front view now looks like this.

This is my finished scarf!

I am very pleased with the finished results of both scarves,

and I will probably be making more I'm sure!
