last night i finished my second sewing project and i am feeling so proud of myself! i have managed to complete a small tote bag (project #1) and now an infinity scarf. for those of you joining me as beginners to the sewing world - these are two easy projects to start with.

Materials needed:
* 2 yards of plaid fabric (aka 1.90 metres for my fellow Canadians)
* thread
* sewing machine
* scissors
* pins (to help secure your folds until fastened/sewed)
#step 1: As the blog above indicates, cut your fabric into 22" wide and 72" long.
*Note: depending on the type of fabric you purchase (i.e. the weight and style), you may only need to use half of the 2 yards like I did. I would recommend if your fabric is solid on one side and 'white' on the opposite side, then use the the full 2 yards and sew along the open side of the fold. That way your scarf is the same solid pattern/colour all the way around when you wrap it.
#step 2: I folded the edges along each of the length side of the fabric and sewed a double stitch to prevent fraying
#step 3: turn the scarf "inside out" (I chose to determine the softer side of the fabric to be "face up"), gather the two short ends together and stitch. Again I chose to use a double stitch to secure the fabric.
Et voila! You have your very own infinity scarf, perfect for the Fall/Winter weather (even in Canada)
