How to Sew an easy yet Stylish Infinity Scarf - Great Beginner Project

In this video I'm going to show you how to make an infinity scarf a simple loop

great beginners project. I'm Christine of Christine's crafts and this channel is dedicated to

crafting on a budget. So all you're going to need is a great big piece of cloth. So it's up

to you what fabric you use and these measurements you can adjust them. But I made mine 12

inches wide. So that's how wide the rectangle of fabric is that I cut and I cut it 60 inches long

Now, if you haven't got a piece of fabric 60 inches long, you could join some sections together to make it that long. That'll work absolutely fine. You can try lots of different fabrics for this, but I'm using a jersey fabric. So whatever fabric you use, you need to fold it in half lengthways so that the right sides are facing each other. And you need to make sure those edges match up and make sure those edges match up and make sure those ends

ends match up. Now you'll see this is a little bit of a faff for me because I'm using jersey, the edges tend to roll up and just make it a little bit tricky to work with

If you're using a cotton, it's just going to go very simply

You could easily do these with a fleecy fabric or indeed anything you want. Experiment

And as I said earlier, mine's 12 inches wide, but you could do it wider or you could do it narrower, depending what effect you want

In fact, play around and make a few. So work your way all the way along the length and either pin or clip it together

And then you going to sew all the way along the length So you making a tube of fabric with the right side on the inside of the tube

So when you get to the other end, your end should match up again

Now if you weren't very accurate with your cutting, they might not quite match, but don't let that worry you

Just take yourself to the end and then sew along the whole length

And then once you've sewn all the way along and got yourself a tube, it's time to turn it through. But be careful. Before you do

I recommend at each end you mark opposite the seam. So you'll see I'm going to do it by cutting a little notch with the scissors

It doesn't matter, you could just mark it with a pen, but you want to mark opposite the seam

Now you'll also notice when you look at my tube that my stitches are slightly zigzag

and that is because I'm using jersey, which is stretchy, and that just helps the stitches to not rip

So once you've got the marked, feed your arm all the way through your tube from one end to the other

Get hold of that end and pull it through so that it matches up with the other end

So you're not pulling the whole thing through. You're pulling it so that one half is inside the other

and then make sure you haven't twisted it and match up your seams and pin or clip them together

So make sure those seams align one on top of the other and make sure you haven twisted the tube as you brought it through And then if you look you have your marks or your notches that you can match up on the other side And doing this is going to help you to get a really good finish

and to not stretch it and twist it and have it looking unprofessional

So once you've matched those up, you're going to work your way around those edges

and just pin or clip them together. Now what you do need to do is make sure you leave part of it

you leave part of it open because you're going to need to turn all this through once you've sewn it

So on this side you'll see I'm going to leave quite a wide space so that we can turn it through

So I suggest you do leave a good three or even four inches

Take it over to machine and sew around that seam. And then turn the whole lot through the hole you left

It can get a little bit fiddly depending on your fabric, but just put it. persevere, keep pulling, keep pushing and get it all through so that all your fabric is on the right side

You can see it's pulling through nicely and then you'll have an infinity scarf

However, you've still got the hole you left to turn it through

So make sure you go back to that hole and we're going to close it up

So make sure you pin or click those edges together so they're as if you've sewn them

And then you've got two choices. You can either just whizz along that with your machine and it's done, or you can hand

sew it with a ladder stitch like I doing here And if you want to hand stitch just get yourself a knot and get yourself through so you get started and your thread secure

And then work your way along the hole, taking a little bit of fabric from one side and

then a little bit of fabric from the other and repeat and work your way all the way along your

gap that you left. Just taking a bit from each side. So you'll see I put my needle in one side and then

the needle in the other and just catch a bit from each. And you can do it just one bit at a time or you can do a few

It's up to you. It depends how experienced you are. But as you work your way along, what you'll find is you make an invisible scene

So it is a better finish, I think, which is why I've sewn mine like that

So once you get to the other end, you need to make sure you secure your thread

Otherwise it'll come undone. See, I'm just getting there now. So once you get to the end, you do an ordinary stitch and then you feed your needle through the loop that you make so that it forms a small knot

So feed it through and there you go. And then push your needle through the fabric to pop out somewhere else to just add a little bit of length and cut it off

And there you go, you've got an infinity scarf. So well done. I hope you enjoy making your infinity scarf

I've tried dots of different fabrics, make them for friends. They just add a real pop to any outfit

So good luck with yours and thank you for watching. I hope you've enjoyed it
