DIY: Cowl Scarf

 Today I'm going to show you how to make a cowl scarf with a floral stripe . If you like the look of just one color better, it's really easy to just leave the stripe out. This is a pretty easy, and quick project to do. 


The first thing you need to do is cut your fabric into rectangles. You can adjust the measurements to however thick or long you want it. For mine, I cut the large piece of fabric to be 39" by 46", and the floral stripe is 39" by 6".    

Next pin the floral stripe like so , to both sides of the large piece of fabric. 

Then sew it up on both sides.

You should have a big tube. Now your going to want to iron the seams flat.



Turn it right side out.

This part gets a little tricky. Take the seams from both sides and pin. You really only need one pin.

Sew it up, matching up the fabric as you do.

Now you should get to a point where the scarf is half inside out, and half right side out. At this point, back stitch  and  cut off the loose threads.

Now your going to want to pull it until your scarf is all right side out. 

There's going to be an opening.


Just sew the opening shut, and your done! Not to bad right? I hope you liked this tutorial. Have a great day! -Zoe
