Make a scarf
This scarf may be made larger than the measurements suggested but it will require more fabric. Using these measurements, a square of cloth can be cut into four scarves. It will be more economical to cut a scarf this way if four in your club use the same colored fabric.
Plan to have your scarf match or look nice with your skirt. For a double scarf, have one side the same as your skirt fabric and one a plain or contrasting color. A single scarf may either match your skirt or be a contrasting color.
Double scarf
Cut two triangles of fabric—
1—plain
1—contrast
Pin right sides together and sew a ½-inch seam around edge.
Start sewing 6 inches from center of scarf. Stitch around scarf and stop 3 inches before reaching starting point (see diagram). The opening is for turning your scarf.
Press the seams open. Then trim the seams until they are ¼-inch wide. Trim off corners. Turn your scarf and press.
Baste a slot for headband, 14 inches long and ¾ inch wide. Sew across one end. Turn and stitch along basting threads. Turn and stitch across other end. See diagram.
Sew (by hand) 2 inches of opening, leaving 1 inch open to insert head band.
Insert head band and your scarf is finished.
Single scarf
Cut one triangle of fabric.
Press ¼-inch hem on both 25-inch sides of scarf. Press ¾-inch hem on long edge of scarf.
Trim off end of hem on dotted lines. Turn ends under even with side hems. Press.
Miter corner on point of scarf according to directions under sewing kit.
Refold the scarf on folds for hem. You now have a mitered corner.
Stitch around your scarf. Start stitching 6 inches from center on 35-inch side. Stitch all around scarf.
Stop 1 inch from where you started to stitch. Turn and stitch to folded edge of hem. Stitch across hem 7 inches from center of scarf to make other end of slot to hold head band. Finish two top corners by hand. Trim off peak (x) to edge of hem. Insert head band and your scarf is finished.
