Description

Add drawings and text for a edgy scarf that will keep you warm as the temperature drops.

Instructions

  1. Small 111306 2f2015 10 03 060151 dsc04940

    Gather up your materials...I chose this Tee Juice Marker Tattoo Set, any fabric markers or sharpie permanent markers would work.

  2. Small 111306 2f2015 10 03 060351 dsc04938

    Figure out how long you would like the scarf to be, and prepare a rectangle of muslin to that measurement. Iron the fabric as smooth as possible to make a flat surface for drawing.

  3. Small 111306 2f2015 10 03 060603 dsc04949

    Space out the drawings or transfers in the placement you prefer. I placed one design near each end of the scarf, and two flame designs centered in the middle.

  4. Small 111306 2f2015 10 03 060730 dsc04952

    Add your favorite song lyrics. For a more graffiti look, layer the text so it overlaps in different directions. You could use bubble lettering, cursive or calligraphy style letters for distinctive looks.

  5. Small 111306 2f2015 10 03 061545 dsc04962

    Heat set the marker by ironing on the setting specified for the fabric. Then fuse the muslin to the fusible fleece to prepare for sewing. Sew around the edges with a zig zag stitch.

  6. Small 111306 2f2015 10 03 061554 dsc04963

    Lay the backing fabric face down, and put the muslin piece face up so that wrong sides are together. Pin around the edges to hold the layers in place.

  7. Small 111306 2f2015 10 03 061850 dsc04966

    Using a decorative stitch and a 1/2 inch seam allowance sew along the edges of the muslin piece.

  8. Small 111306 2f2015 10 03 061948 dsc04967

    Use pinking shears to trim the edges, adding a decorative edging to the scarf.

  9. Small 111306 2f2015 10 03 185442 dsc04969

    As a final step, quilt the scarf as desired.
