Mother's Day Scarves
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! Hope your day was special.

This scarf is really easy to make once you hem the edges. It was a little difficult working with the fabric I chose. It was a silky polyester and wouldn't crease when I ironed over the edges so I just had to eye ball it when sewing the 1/2 inch hem. This is when I really wish I had a serger to finish off edges. The fun part was sewing with elastic thread. I had never used it before and it was fun to see the fabric bunch up.
I was a bit disappointed with how short the scarves ended up being. With the elastic they shrank more than half their original length (128"). Oh well, they still add some fun ruffel-y-ness around the neck. I think both my mothers liked them.

cute. I'm sure they were thrilled.
I got that exact same fabric to make a scarf for the teacher I worked with this year. My mom has a surger....if she surges the edges, do you think it will be easy to do? I was a bit nervous about it because it was so light. It looks great. You have inspired me to go for it and try it. Thank you!!!

Yes, I think it will be easy and look great with the edges surged. Go for it!
