A few weeks ago while wandering around blogland I saw this adorable
idea on the DIYdish. It's a cute scarf made out of an old T shirt. It's lightweight
and can be made in springy colors to match the season.
First you take an old shirt that you won't mind cutting up.
Draw some circles on it. This was a size large and I was able
to make 3 circles on the front and 3 on the back.
My most excellent pattern was a paper plate.
This does not have to be very neat, just cut away.
Then spiral cut the circle. It doesn't have to be precise. Again, just cut away.
Give it a gentle pull to straighten out the spiral into a long strip.
You could use fabric glue to glue the strips together (3 on one side, 3 on the other) but I just stitched them together with my sewing machine. Go Here if you want to get a coherent tutorial on how to assemble this scarf!
I decided to make a couple to give away and one to keep for myself.
This is how they're supposed to look when they're finished.
The DIY dish has a couple of other easy scarves to make. So go over and take a look.
And make something new for your spring wardrobe.

Hey Sue! I bought a red tee at Savers on Tuesday to make just this same project! Need to get it washed up and then I can start. Looks like it's easy enough - I like the colors you chose!
What a good idea! They are just too cute! ;D
Very clever! I love re-purposing things!
This sounds cute though I am lacking in the crafting area.
that turned out cute.
I used to go to the Jeep Safari in Moab Utah.......beautiful country for sure.
Fabulous! I love them! I think I'll go check out the tutorial and see if I can do it.

These are adorable, I just wish I had seent his before my trip to Salvation Army today, I could have been looking for t-shirts to make these. You can bet I'll be going back to find some now. I love the ruffles and the fact they can be used with different tops!
What a great idea! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
I love this! thanks Sue!
Very cute! I'll head over to check it out.
I've seen some that looked like this in stores and they weren't cheap. What a great idea.
Thank you so much for your prayers for my nephew Jordan. Our family has been so blessed by the love we've received here in blog land.
Blessings,

Mimi, you asked if the pillows on my post were from Home Depot and they are, as are the red adirondack chairs.
