It came out a little bit cartooney, but I decided I liked it anyway.

Infinity scarf

Here is a step by step of the infinity scarf. For further details and better instructions, check the article on the Koos Loop from this month's Threads.

Fabric, right side up.....approximately 12 x 72 inches.

At the center, fold one end as shown, right sides together.
Fold the other end, as shown.
Pin an opening 5" across at the center. Sew from the pin to 3" from the end, right sides together. You will be forming a bias fold, but sewing on grain. Then sew from the other side of the opening to 3" from the oppoisite end.
Turn right side out through the opening, and pin the ends together, right sides together. Make sure you have a twist in the fabric loop. Sew the ends together. Then turn wrong sides out, and sew the long bias spiral seam together at the ends, leaving the 5" opening. Turn to the right side and whipstitch the opening shut.

easy project

I made this infinity scarf in less than an hour today, and have the silk pieces to do several more!

Nice surprise!

It has been a long, cold, barren winter in my studio. Nuthin'. I got nuthin'. Everything I set my paints to ends up a disaster. It is so painful!

And then, a happy accident today. I had been practicing my spatters and decided to reuse the sheet to practice some trees.
