I just love fall. Its my favorite season. I was a huge fan of those blanket scarves you saw coming out last season, but I couldn't justify spending money on a giant piece of flannel, when I could make it myself! So this year I decided to get a jumpstart. After reading many other DIY's, tutorials, and watching a few videos, I came up with this. Hope you enjoy it!
Materials:
1 1/2 yards of yard dyed flannel (where you can see the pattern on both sides)
Coordinating thread
Scissors or rotary cutter
Sewing machine
Really the sewing part isn't necessary, so if you don't have a machine you can skip that part.
Step 1:
Line up your material and cut so that the edges are straight. This will help a bunch during the fraying process.
Step 2:
Use a needle, pin, or just your fingers and pull some of the threads out. Keep pulling them until your fray is at a desired length. I liked about 1/2"
Step 3 (optional):
Stitch up the non selvedge edge (the ones you had to fray) with a small zig zag stitch. This will keep the material from fraying even more. This step isn't necessary though!
Step 4: Wear it! You can tie the corners together so its a giant triangle, just wrap it, or wear it like a shawl. Completely up to you.
