DIY Fall Infinity Scarf

Hello, my sweet bloggy friends.  I took a little sabbatical after Halloween... it was not entirely voluntary.  I suffered a bout of anemia that left me literally exhausted in bed for days.  I have no idea where that anemia came from.  Apparently, there is no iron in a diet consisting solely of Halloween candy and hot glue fumes.  Which is a shame.  Anyhoo, I'm back and I made an infinity scarf.

I love this thing.

So, I saw all these people wearing these 'infinity scarves' and I just loved them.  And I thought it would be the perfect project for November, since it's getting frosty outside.  So I went to the fabric store and found some fun flannel.  Yes, flannel can be fun, if you have no other excitement in your life that is.


See? Fun!

I got two yards for this scarf, which is plenty.  I cut the flannel into a strip 18" wide by two yards long.  Once that was done, I pinned up the long end, right sides together.


Next, I sewed up the long end.  I love sewing straight lines. Use whatever seam allowance you like because you're awesome and know what you're doing.


Once that was done, I turned it right side out.  Now most people would stitch up part of the ends before flipping but I hate having to pull fabric through tiny holes.  Since this is an infinity scarf, having a seam would not be such a big deal.  I pulled it right-side-out and sewed the ends together.  This whole thing took about 30 minutes.


I made a scarf! And it's infinity! Infinity times infinity, even!  Oh, that fall were all year round so I could make a hundred of these. :)
