I was given a lovely scarf for my birthday but I knew that I would never wear it as it was just far too wide and bulky. I took the bull by the horns and cut it into two. I have left one piece long with it's fringe and the other one I have sew the two ends together and made another kind of scarf. Thrilled with the result. I have told the person who gave it to me :))

very clever. and a job well done.

Thank you Christine

Well done. I do not know if I could have done this. It would have turned into a disaster for me. Awesome!

It really was not very difficult. Trying to do a rolled hem along the sides was the worst

Well done. 2 Scarves now instead of 1. Hugs Shirley

Well done Sarah, I'm like you, I don't like scarves too long. You've done a great alternative here! Love Chris

Chris, it was not the length but the width. I was just worried that it might fray away

Marvelous thinking Sarah/Lillian

The material was far too nice just to put it in a cupboard and forget about it.

Oh, good for you - I have a couple of scarves - that I should do the same with!! Hugs, Laura*

Very brave of you Sarah. Its very pretty fabric and you have done well to end up with two scarves. Enjoy wearing both of them but not together. I too love scarves and have a great selection as no doubt you do too

I too love scarves, although never wear them in summer as just far too hot.
