Fairy Cowl


In between studying today, I made this cowl after eyeing one on etsy which costed a small fortune. Spring will soon be around the corner (hopefully) and I wanted a lighter scarf to wear. It's lightweight and soft, very easily to mold into different styles and could be worn with the one or two buttons.



It's basically a large rectangle; you'd need around 1/2 a yard of two different colors of fabric. I made the inside a plan dark green to match the pretty fabric on the front. Basically you cut out a large rectangle, (my dimensions were 15 1/2  inches for the Length and 11 inches for the height) and pin the two pieces together so the pattern, or the "good" side is on the inside. Sew it together, leaving a hole at one of the corners so you can easily flip it inside out. Flip it out and iron the piece, then do some top stitching and sew up that corner. I followed this tutorial on how to make the buttonholes because my machine doesn't have the option to make buttonholes. I then sewed two large buttons on the other side, which were purchased from Oruaka on etsy. If you're looking for fantastic wooden buttons for your next project, or some handmade wooden jewlery I would look into his store! All of his items are handmade with a super soft finish.
