Yesterday was our fortnightly Craft and Chat Session and we made scarfs out of old t-shirts. I think when I make another one I will have to ‘tweak’ it a bit, but again once you know what you are doing it is very simple.

Firstly you need two old t-shirts (different colours). With the t-shirt laid out flat you need to cut out two long strips (this will give you for strips of fabric). Repeat this step again, but this time you just need one strip (this gives you two).

Sew your pairs together, to make three long pieces of fabric. Square off tops and bottoms. Place each piece of fabric on top of each other and sew a straight line across to join all layers. Sticky tape the top of this edge to a table and plait (like a hair braid) until you get about half way. When you have done this sew another seam under the plait to keep it all in place. Now you can join your ends together and their you have your t-shirt scarf.

This is where it all happens. This picture shows Nancy and Veronica making chocolates for Easter.
