I got the original idea from here, but the pockets there are pretty crappy. Plus, I don't need any of that extra crap, and I wanted a longer and wider scarf. So really, I didn't follow those instructions at all. I will say that this is my third attempt. The first one was much more like in the link, and I've just been improving on it ever since.
This one's got double welt pockets, one on each end.
Although, they are a bit too shallow:
That's actually only about four inches deep. I guess I'll have to try again sometime. Maybe then I'll finally get it right. Still, I'm pretty happy with this one.
I like this project because it only takes a couple hours to make, and probably a lot less time if you practice sewing regularly. I'm going to have to start making things other than scarves one of theses days. Also, if anybody cares, here are some nice instructions on making a simple welt pocket. It's helped me twice now.
On the cooking front, I'm hoping to make the corned beef this weekend, it's currently in brining in the refrigerator, and I'm still looking for some black pasta somewhere in Glasgow. If I can get that, I can move on in the book. I'm also looking to make some hot wings for the super bowl, so we'll see how that turns out.
Consider starting a business selling your pocket-scarfs?
ReplyDeleteOne note: the green scarf doesn't match a blue T shirt I am afraid.
