Tutorial Tuesday - Re-purposed T-shirt Ruffle Scarf

Do you have a T-shirt you don't want to part with?
I did and decided to put it to good use!
Introducing my
Re-purposed T-shirt Ruffle Scarf Tutorial:

I began by cutting up two old t-shirts I had laying around.

I cut them 6 inches wide and 16 1/2 inches long

Next I sewed them on the 6 inch end, right sides together, alternating the colors.

It ended up looking like this:

Next I set my Tension on my sewing machine to 9,
the Width to 0, and the length to 4.
Basically everything as long and wide as you can get it.
This will form the ruffle on your scarf.
Begin stiching all the way down one side of the scarf.
Don't back stitch, and be sure to leave plenty of thread at the end to pull or adjust the ruffle.

Once you are finished your scarf will look like this:

Next I folded up the ends, and cut the excess thread off.

I then reset the thread and ran a stitch along the edges to complete the scarf.

You're done!!
Isn't it adorable?! Of course you can always make it as long or short as you want,
remember to account for the ruffling.
Mine is small and perfect to wear under a coat or jacket.

I can't wait to see what you come up with!
