Layering Scarves

Ever since I discovered the two thread rolled hem on my serger, I’ve been thinking of  other projects I can use it on. I just sewed up a half dozen lightweight scarves with fabric from my scrap bin –  I haven’t rethreaded the machine all weekend! The best part of these scarves is that they layer beautifully. Throw two together with a necklace and you have a very unique accessory!

If you’d like to make your own, the scarves pictured above measure 21″ square. Use lightweight fabric like cotton lawn, rayon challis, voile, or even silk chiffon. I chose to finish the edges with a serged two thread rolled hem. If you don’t have that option a baby hem or hand rolled hem would work fine as well – just don’t forget to add a hem allowance when cutting. Wear alone or layered!

Happy Sewing!
