.Scarfs Galore III.

I found this really cute tutorial on how to trun an old cardigan into a cute cowl neck scarf. Looking through my massive closet of clothes, I stumbled upon an old Tommy Hilfiger sweater that I used to be obsessed with but refused to part with after I spilt coffee on it a few years ago. This was the perfect way to make use of my favorite old sweater.
As you can see, it has these really cute buttons up the side, which will help me mock the look of the cardigan sweater I found a few days ago.

I cut the sweater about 2-4" below the armpit to make the actual scarf.

The original tutorial I found required a sewing machine, but I do not have one so this is where I had to improvise. I used a no-sew hem tape that adherse two pieces of fabric with the use of an iron. I took the top of the sweater and folded it over no more than a 1/2" and iron it. This gives you a nice hem so there is not a raw edge. The only plus to sewing is you can make it a tighter hem, but I like the way this is nice and loose around the neck. 


Super easy, Super cute.
