i was looking through some old pictures on my computer and came accross these from a tutorial i did for a website 2 autumns ago. i thought hey! thats a cool scarf! (and hey! thats a really ugly table...why didn't i paint it sooner?) i should make another one of those! maybe i will, maybe i won't...either way - here are the simple instructions should you find yourself staring at a pile of fabric scraps one day and wondering what you could do with them...
..ta da! a quirky colourful fun scarf to dangle around your neck! should you be the type with hips worthy of drawing attention to (i am not), it could be a cool belt too. or flag-type-dangly thing from a doorway. crazy quilting, i love it in any form!











Or do what I do with all my fabric and batting scraps and make funky cool coasters for hot drinks! Glad to see I'm not the only one who keeps miniscule scraps of fabric to make into something!

OK...you've sparked my creative juices. I need to rummage through all of the Christmas fabric stashed away and make a bunting for my kitchen window. Thanks for getting me started! Now...off to the attic.

Ew that's what my table looks like too... What color did you paint it? I could use some inspiration. Love the scarf.

What a clever way of using up the tiniest of fabric scraps. :)

this idea is sooooo great. i'm doing half of the afternoon by stitching littles squares freaky-funny together. ( it's btw a soule-healing-project for me)
