Tutorial: Easy Summer Neck Scarf
If you have some lightweight fabric scraps or remnants, you can use them to create a fashionable neck scarf to match your outfit. This is a quick project that will take less than half an hour to finish. Print out the free pattern below and get started with the step-by-step tutorial.
I recommend using a microtex needle when sewing lightweight fabric. You also may want to invest in a straight stitch place for your machine, since this can keep the fabric from puckering or being pulled under the needle when you’re trying to sew. (Learn more about sewing with lightweight fabric)
Supplies Needed:
(all of my patterns include 1/2″ seam allowance)
Step 1
sew the front and back of the scarf
With right sides together, sew the front and back of the scarf. Leave a gap in the center so you can turn it to the right side.
Step 2
clip the curves
Clip and trim the tight curves on the narrow parts of the scarf.
Step 3
Turn the scarf to the right side
Flip the scarf to the right side through the gap. Then press the edges.
Step 4
sew up the gap
Hand sew the gap. You can also topstitch around the entire edge if you want to.
Finished!
