Infinity scarf

The weather has been pretty chilly lately, and I hate being cold around my neck, so I made a bunch of casual, cotton infinity scarves. Luckily my neighbor cleaned out his closet and I got some nice color variety. Scarves are a great way to add a little something extra to a plain outfit. And these simple loops go great with T-shirts and jeans.

Today's project is:

T-shirt Infinity Scarf

You will need:
a t-shirt, extra large is best
(You can find t-shirts at thrift shops, raid your neighbor's closet or buy them cheaply in a 3 pack at Walmart)
scissors

You will cut the bottom hem off the t-shirt. Then cut about 12"  - 14" up (approx.) This should be under the sleeves.

Then holding this round loop, put your foot down on the end, and pull and stretch the top upward. Be strong!
As you do this, the fabric will curl inward, so you don't need to hem this. The T-shirt fabric will not fray.

Now you have a naturally folded loop, double it up around your neck, and voila, instant fun accessory as well as keeping you cozy.

Use the rest of the shirt for rags. Cotton t-shirt fabric is nice and soft and absorbant.

tip of the day:
Buy some Altoid mints and save those great metal tins. They are good for so many things. Small sewing notions, travel jewelry case, store cards fit in them (how do we accumulate so many of those things?). If you need a small 'wallet', use one of these tins. Your credit card, coins and cash fit in nicely plus a couple of keys (without a big keychain). Stash in your pocket and off you go!

That's all for now...
