A while ago I bought a set of chocolate brown sheets. I got them at a discount store and they ended up not being very good quality. Jim was all "These sheets feel cheap" and I was all "cuz they are cheap." So I washed them and put them away as a set of extras. Then I won a fantastic set of sheets in a giveaway and decided it was time to get rid of the cheap ones. So I made some scarves out of the material and now I'm happy!

Here is how I did it:

I cut my sheet into long strips. I cut it across the bottom so one side was already hemmed and it cut down on my work. Obviously for the subsequent scarves I had to hem all sides.

Hem the raw sides

Then I used my machine to sew a line of stitching down the middle but I set it so it ruffled. My machine doesn't do a great job at ruffling so I did use the old pull-the-bobbin-thread method to add a bit more ruffle. My machine ruffles a bit if I make the tension as high as it will go but set my stitches on the longest setting.

Then I ran a line of stitching on either side about an inch from the edges. Again I set my machine so it was ruffling the fabric as it went.

All done!  Revel in your fabulousness!

I made one for my sister too. Plus I have tons of sheet material left over so I have to think of something else to do with it.

Cheers!
