TUTORIAL TUESDAY: Tshirt Fringe Scarf

First of all let me say THIS TUTORIAL WAS NOT SOMETHING I SEEN ON PINTEREST! I'm sure this is not the first time this tutorial has been made but I have not looked for one nor seen one. ;)

Today's tutorial was inspired by a scarf by Down East Basics, (you can see it here). I got their latest sale bill in the mail and it's been stuck in my purse. Every time I get hot in church I grab it to fan myself with and it always seems to open to the page with this scarf on it. After looking at it so many times I decided I liked it. I didn't originally because we had those types of scarves when I was a tween.......too 80's. ;) But alas I succumbed to the lure of the scarf and came up with this version.



I used 2 boys tshirts size 8/10. I would like for it to have been bigger but I used what I had on hand. When I make one for myself I will use a mans tshirt.

Cut the shirt off under the sleeves...


then cut up both sides removing the seam if it has one......also remove the hem...


now you should have two rectangles (from each shirt. I used 2 shirts)


fold each rectangle in half at the corners like so...


then use your straight edge and rotary cutter to cut fringe. My fringes were about 1/2-3/4" wide. DONT cut too close to the top! You want some fabric uncut at the top. On a side note if you plan on doing much sewing at all you simply MUST invest in a rotary cutter and mat!! Its a must! Ask Santa! ;)


it should look like this...


Viola! You did it! Like it? PIN it! Thanks!
