A great project to make, especially when you’re starting out in sewing.
1. This scarf is made of two rectangles, each measuring 125cm x 55cm.
2. The two ends of the widths have been sewn together to form a circle/loop.
3. Once the circle is closed, make a small hem on both raw edges (along the length edges). If the small hem proves too tricky, apply bias binding; this can add a different effect. However here, Stephanie, who loves Wax (the name given to African fabric in general), cut her fabric along the selvages, which also adds style. One of the advantages of cutting the fabric using the selvage as the raw edge is that hemming is not necessary because the fabric won’t fray.
~~~~~~~~
The result: Easy and perfect. The fabric suits her skin tone.

This is a cool project for beginners.
1. This infinity scarf was made out of 2 rectangles of 125cm x 55cm each.
2. The ends of the width have been sewn together in order to form a circle.
3. Once the circle’s closed, hem the raw edges (all along the sides). If the hemming seems to be difficult as it must be small, you can choose to apply some bias binding. In fact bias binding can also bring another style. However here, Stephanie who really loves Wax (African prints) cut one side of the rectangles along the finished edge of the fabric, and this also can add a little style. In fact one of the advantages of cutting along the finished edge is that hemming is not necessary, as the finished edges do not fray.
