T-Shirt Scarf Tutorial
This project falls into the "easy" category, even for beginners. If you can sew a relatively straight line and can use straight pins without putting your eye out, success is all but guaranteed.

Step 1
Select two old t-shirts.
Step 2
Cut the T-shirts into strips. I made mine 8" wide, but you can use any width you want. Also, I cut my strips horizontally to highlight the t-shirt's designs, but cutting vertically will work just as well.
Step 3
Select two strips to begin with...
Step 4
and pin them right side together on one of the short sides.
Step 5
Sew along the side you pinned.
Step 6
Keep repeating this process until you have two pieces that are the length that you want the scarf to be when it is finished.
Step 7
With right sides facing each other, pin the long sides of the two pieces together and sew, making sure to leave the ends open.
Step 8
Turn the scarf right side out and stitch the ends closed about two inches from the bottom. In this photo, my pieces are two different lengths. I cut the green piece to even them up after I sewed the end shut. No worries!
Step 9
Make fringe at the end simply by cutting slits with your scissors.

Congrats. You're done! Wear and enjoy!
