Remember this little bundle of joy I bought at Shaukat...
Well the big floral print is a scrap quarter meter of silk that I picked up for whole £5.
Last week I trimmed the edges and turned it into a skinny, lightest of light, infinity scarf in about ten minutes.
I literally put it on as soon as I had made it, and then forgot about it until I went to bed, as it is pretty much weightless!
I stitched right through the final joining seam, as hand-stitching the closure on that fine silk would have been near on impossible, and to be honest, pointless.
I love my little scarf; I think I
Very nice missus. And how awful a return trip to Shaukat would be... ;o)
ReplyDeleteVery purty :-)
ReplyDeleteReally lovely! :o)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I am already plotting my next visit to Shaukat. At the Retreat I didn't have time to rummage through the lovely pile of offcuts nor nearly enough time to look at all the bolts of lovely Liberty.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous scarf - fancy making me one and I will pay you??? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to rummage in Shaukat next week but when I mentioned the possibility there were screwed up faces?! Lovely scarf - if you get elbowed in the ribs, you'll know I'm there at the same time :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous !!!!! And what. Great price for silk!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty! Mmmmm Liberty
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd had the foresight to think of using a piece of silk like that! Well done, you!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Gotta love a quick project, especially when it's so beautiful1
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely, great idea
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely, I shall look to see if I have a piece big enough when I get home. You should go back, I vote in favour of that for sure.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine how lovely that feels, and it looks beautiful too! Xx
ReplyDeleteLovely colours. I REALLY need one of those!!
ReplyDeleteAt least you took it off for bed. Would you make another to match your PJs?
ReplyDeleteLoved it when I saw it round your neck - in fact I was eyeballing it quite a it before we talked about it!
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt Looks so lovely. For me a scarf like this has to be very leight too!
ReplyDeleteOoh so pretty! That is the first infinity scarf I've seen that I liked!
ReplyDeleteI love your scarf. I bought myself an actual Liberty scarf, went too far in the purchasing process before I realised I had misread the price! Nurtured it for years and put it away somewhere safe at home 2 winters ago and still can't find it.I know it is in the roof space somewhere. (with my vintage compact collection put away the same day)
ReplyDeletePretty! And a bargain to boot! :o)
