Now go sew a t-shirt! Ruffle Flower Scarf. I took a couple of my favorite projects and combined them into something for me. After all that creating over Christmas for other people, it was fun to make something for myself. Not that I don't enjoy creating for others, of course. I'm sure you know what I mean. I sewed two long strips of white knit fabric together, one on top of the other, using the method from my tiered ruffle skirt tutorial. I didn't baste them together first because I wanted to stretch the fabric as much as possible when I sewed the edges to make the ruffles.
You could also do this with just one piece of fabric. I liked using two, because it makes the scarf warmer, and hides all your stitches from sewing on the ruffled flowers. The flowers are made the same way as the ones from the ruffle flower leggings. Here I am wearing it. I'm debating whether I should make one with bright colors. Check out this post I did for some visuals of how to get the basic scarf. How to Make a Pattern from a Favorite Garment. 101 Sewing Tutorials for Summer!

The Not-So-Nerdy Way to Hem Jeans. I’m in need of some shorter-inseam jeans to wear with comfortable shoes for walking I’ve been doing around campus. I have avoided hemming what I have because hemmed jeans look so nerdy. I remembered hearing a friend say she only buys jeans at the Buckle because they hem jeans for free and keep the original hem. (Hem, hem, hem, any synonyms for this?) I did some googling around and found some references to this technique, so I thought I’d give it a try. I was very impressed with the result! Here’s what I started with: My sloppy, slouchy jeans need some help before I can wear them with comfy flat shoes. I started by turning up the original hem to the length I liked, barely touching the floor. I measured the space between the fold and original hem, as pictured, and found it to be about one inch.
I took half of this measurement and marked and pinned one half inch from the fold all around. I didn’t have matching thread, but it doesn’t show so it doesn’t matter! … and then pressed in place. Ta-Da! Drafting & Patterns.
