I love soft t-shirt knit ruffles, but I can't buy enough t-shirts with ruffles on them for every outfit. Soooooo..... I made a ruffle scarf that I can wear with any outfit!
* Cut a 1/4 yard , 60" wide piece of t-shirt weight cotton knit fabric
* Fold in half and cut the folded edge.
*Sew a gathering stitch down the center of the fabric (using your longest straight stictch on you machine or even hand stitch a long running stitch), gather to form ruffles:
*Sew a regular length stitch over the top of the gathering stitches to secure the ruffles:
Ta Da, you have a super cute and easy scarf to wear with any outfit! I love mine so much I can't wait to make one in black, pink, whatever. I hope you'll give it a try. I saw a similar one in the store after I made this for $25. This cost a total of $2.50!

Wow, that is really easy. I had no idea. Thanks so much for sharing!
What settings on your machine did you use to sew a gathering stitch? Or did you just bunch up the fabric and sew? I've been wanting to make a scarf exactly like this one!
Wonderful, I am definitely going to make one of those!

That would really help stretch the outfits. Very good tutorial.
That is adorable! I love it. Thanks for sharing the tute and have a great day:)
great idea! Those ruffles are everywhere and this is a fun way to incorporate them when you're in the mood!
So simple, a great extra touch!
$2.50 is more my speed. I've been really digging the whole anthro-ruffle-romantic thing lately. Great tute!
Thanks for linking to Creative Juice! Hope to see you back this Thursday.
