How to turn a Pashmina into an Infinity Scarf

 

 

I  really, really, really love scarves! Over the last 15 years I have accumulated quite the collection. I’ve dreamt about scarves being on sale and me carrying bags of $5 scarves and pashminas out of the store. Sometimes, I even wear a scarf in the heat of the summer.

This tutorial is how to make an infinity scarf out of a pashmina or regular scarf. I will also give you some details if you are just using new fabric.

You will need:

  • an old scarf/pashmina or piece of fabric (20″ or wider x 80″ approx.)
  • scissors
  • pins
  • needle and thread
  • sewing machine (optional)
  • iron (especially if your scarf has been neglected for a while and crumpled like mine)

Do you like to upcycle?

You can make an infinity scarf out of old clothes, bed sheets, a soft blanket or scarves or new fresh fabric.

Iron and Measure

Start by ironing the creases out of the fabric/scarf.

If you are using new fabric for this project use a piece that measures at least 18 x 70 inches (45cms x 177cms).

My scarf was 26 x 69 inches (66 cms x 175 cms). It was even shorter after I trimmed off the fringe and I think its a great length-finished its 66 inches long. I prefer it to be extra wide too.


 

Trim off the tassel bit on the end if your scarf/pashmina had trim.

Fold the fabric in half lengthwise with the good side facing inward.

 

 

Pin the fabric along the edge of the long side.


Sew the length of the long side.

Pull one end of the tube through to meet the other end and match up the seams. Next, pin the ends together to make the tube into a circle. Be sure to only pin through two layers.

Sew around the top, but don’t sew it closed. Leave a gap of a few inches to pull the scarf through.

After you pull the scarf through that small gap, get your needle and thread and hand sew the gap closed.
