Scrunchie Scarf

You can find this project and others over at my other blog I’m a Mom not a Professional feel free to follow along.

  Like all good things my next project started at church.  My friend was wearing a really cute Scrunchie Scarf, so of course I asked about it and she told me where she got it and how much blah, blah.  Finally I couldn’t stand it anymore and I asked if I could see it…and upon closer inspection not only was it cute but it also appeared too be super easy to make AND it was!! Thanks to my awesome friend Sharon over at This Thrifty House who taught me all about Shirring from another project she did and let me steal the idea from this summer.  This scarf took me like 5 minutes to make and it was $1.00.  I gave these scarfs to my daughters for Christmas and they love them.

All you need to make them is a scarf and some elastic sewing thread.  Because this was going to be a trial run I got my scarfs from the dollar store.

I used my machine and the elastic thread to sew two lines down the middle of the scarf.

Then I added a little flower that I “borrowed” from another project.

all done!

For the brown one I thought it would be cute to all some ribbon to the shirred part.  I really like how that turned out and you can use the ribbon to cover up the elastic thread.

You could also add a ribbon rosette.  The dollar store scarfs aren’t long enough for me but they look super cute on the girls. But you could easily do this to any fleece scarf (or you could sew two dollar store scarfs together). I was also toying with the idea of doing a layered one with more than one scarf shirred together on top of each other.  Anyway this is a project I’ll defiantly be playing with.

Here is a picture of it on one of my cuties.

Snow Day #2

We woke up to snow on Thanksgiving Day.  It continued most of the morning so when we were done with the turkey we went in played in the snow for a few hours.  We actually built a snow slide coming off of our front porch but we were having so much fun sliding on it we forgot to take pictures.   It was a perfect Thanksgiving day.
