by A good Spring clean fantastic. It gives you a chance to clean, declutter, reorganise and find items you had long forgotton. It’s amazing how quickly we can accumulate “things” in such little time. During my last clean out, I found this gorgeous knitted scarf in very pretty blue. It is a very wide scarf, so an image of a cute shrug popped in my mind.
Sorry, I didn’t take an image prior to pinning it, but you get the idea, it’s a long rectangular scarf.
The picture below shows the steps I took to turn the scarf to a shrug. I started by measuring the sleeves, and pinned where the sleeves (armpit) would start.
I then cut the fringe from both ends and hemmed the ends to stop fraying. Lastly, I sewed the sleeve seams.
Another super fast DIY project, that is both funky & functional.
I’m using my new shrug a lot more then when it was a scarf 🙂
