Quick project

A quick project.


These are some very quick and simple scarves I made under Miss B's supervision.
I bought a skein of woolly stuff from Spotlight. It came in a circle and was loosely tied flat. (hope that makes sense). I just sewed back and forth across the skein using a large straight stitch and a variety of colours. I tried to evenly space the sewn sections and left a bigger gap at the end where I cut across the skein to make the scarf.


I finished if off with a little brooch, again made using a button from spotlight and finished with a little knot of embroidery cotton.




Miss B. wears the blue one to school in the mornings and I wear the cream one. We have a rainbow skein upstairs waiting for a rainy day and for the sewing mood to come along.
I think we will be fighting for the coloured one.

Hope you are having a good weekend.

  5. Deb, these look absolutely gorgeous!! I wish we had a Spotlight a bit closer...may have to make the drive to the big smoke (Tamworth...chuckle....) to get me a hank or two of wool! I absolutely love your scarves and the brooches too! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Thanks for sharing. ~ Tina xx
