How to Make a T-Shirt Infinity Scarf

DIY t-shirt infinity scarf

When it comes to t-shirts, I’m a bit of a sentimental hoarder. All of my t-shirts from clubs, teams, committees, sorority events — I keep them all. Now there is no way one person can wear that many t-shirts, so I’ve grown accustomed to re-purposing my shirts into other items. I’ve made a t-shirt quilt, a t-shirt halter top, and a t-shirt flower dress. With my never-ending love for scarves, I don’t know why I haven’t thought to make a t-shirt scarf before now. :)

First you need to cut your shirts into rectangles of equal width. In addition to two shirts, I used a few extra panels of fabric to add some texture. (I also used this spine t-shirt from another project.)

After you’ve arranged your rectangles into two columns, you can sew them together with the insides facing each other. (This ensures that the printed sections of your t-shirt will be on the outside of the scarf.)

When you’ve finished sewing all the rectangles together, you should have two long columns of fabric. Sew the two columns together as well, with the printed sides of the fabric facing each other again.

Now you should have one long tube of fabric. Next, stitch the ends of the tube together, leaving a little hole where you can flip everything inside out.

After you’ve flipped everything inside out, you can stitch up the remaining hole. Then iron everything flat to make the seams of your scarf crisp.

 And that’s it!

Style your scarf with your favorite winter coat or use it to make a simple outfit a bit more rock-and-roll. It’s a great way to immortalize those t-shirts you love but don’t want to wear as t-shirts anymore. :)

5 Knots Perfect for a Weekend at the Slopes

how to tie winter scarves

Hey, snow bunny! Are you packing your weekender bag for a snow-filled weekend of R&R at a posh ski resort? After throwing in some furry boots, thick-knit tights, and wool sweaters, don’t forget to pack some scarves to match! The perfect addition to any wintery ensemble, you’ll want a soft and warm scarf snugly-wrapped around your neck.

Read on for five wintery ways to tie a scarf! For instructions on how to tie each knot, simply click on the link for written or video step-by-step details.

Wrap and Tie

The key to dressing for the slopes is to keep warm, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice fashion. The Wrap and Tie knot provides ample coverage, but adds a twist to the typical “wrap around” look. Pair a hi-lo sweater with skinny jeans, and top it off with a printed scarf knotted in the Wrap and Tie for a cute and cozy look.

Half Bow II

Head into town for some shopping and pick up some kitschy pieces for your home collection. Sport the Half Bow II knot with a basic top, a blazer, denim, and oxfords.

Slip Knot

The Slip Knot is big and fluffy, providing extra coverage that is perfect for the blustery cold of a wintery wonderland. Why not head to the ice rink in the evening for a little fun with family or friends? Match a pair of skinny denim with a cozy jumper, boot socks, and a fun pair of laced ankle boots for a stylish look that still lets you move on the ice!

Fancy Braid

The Fancy Braid knot is perfect for keeping you warm while not feeling restrictive. Pair some colored leggings with a tunic, cropped sweater, and the Fancy Braid. No need for shoes — just slip on your fuzzy slippers!

Double Scarf Loop Knot

Why wear just one scarf when you can wear two?! The Double Scarf Loop knot is a perfect way to add some color to your look. This knot would be a perfect addition to a neutral sweater dress, tights, and wedge booties — perhaps while doing a little wining and dining? Add a little extra pizzazz to your ensemble by choosing one plain-colored scarf and one printed scarf!

(Loving the pink beauty? Here it is!)
