how-to of the day: making a fringed scarf

 I’ve had this piece of fabric for…  well – let’s just say it’s time to use it

 I bought it as a “mixed fiber” bolt end – it’s only about 14 inches wide and 44 inches long.  It feels like a rayon or acetate blend and I love the flowers and burnout detailing.

It’s one of those little pieces of fabric that tends to accumulate in stashes – I bought it because it was pretty, not because I had a plan for it – oops!   It’s too small for a tank top or camisole and too lightweight for a purse.

I think it would make a pretty scarf – but it’s a just a little short for my taste.  I think a fringe would finish off the ends nicely – but I don’t really want to have to go out and buy a pre-made fringe.

What’s a fiber-aholic to do?

Go diving for yarn of course

I pulled these out of my stash and quite like the effect. They pull out the accent colors from the fabric, but I don’t think they’ll overwhelm the delicate print and fabric.

I’ll show the next step tomorrow
