When I was younger (in my teens) I did quite a bit of sewing. Mostly dresses and shirts, since my longer torso made it hard for me to find outfits that fit properly. When\u00c2\u00a0I moved away\u00c2\u00a0for university, the sewing machine stayed behind. And even though I got it back a few years later when I had a place of my own, I never went back to the same level of sewing. The last few years, my sewing machine has mostly been used for repairs rather than new items.<\/p>\n

After university, I transitioned into\u00c2\u00a0knitting. I made shawls, cowls,\u00c2\u00a0and Moebius\/infinity scarves. For a year or two I\u00c2\u00a0really enjoyed making pug and dog sweaters.\u00c2\u00a0And, of course, the gnomes<\/a>. But,\u00c2\u00a0in the last few years, my knitting time has taken a nosedive. I still enjoy knitting when I get to it, but other things often take priority. I built up quite a stash of yarn that is now begging to be used \u00e2\u20ac\u201c\u00c2\u00a0although\u00c2\u00a0my fabric stash still probably rivals\u00c2\u00a0my yarn stash.<\/p>\n

I’ve had my eye on an infinity scarf for a while, and recently remembered a flowing bit of fabric languishing in my fabric\u00c2\u00a0bins. Yesterday\u00c2\u00a0was cold and rainy, so I set about trying to make my own infinity scarf. I used this tutorial<\/a> and it turned out perfectly. And it was fast! It probably took as long for me to dig through my fabric bins to find the fabric I had in mind as it did to sew the scarf. My kids were suitably intrigued and I ended up making one for each of them as well.\u00c2\u00a0Mine follows the pattern and is\u00c2\u00a028″ wide, but I made the kids’ versions a little narrower at 16″ wide.<\/p>\n

Sadly, most of my fabric stash is too stiff for infinity scarves, so if I want to make any more I first need to make a trip to the fabric store.<\/p>\n
