Easy, Elegant Teacher’s Gift
June 3, 2011 9:12 amHello blog land! I’m back! This move was a hard one for me, probably with the girls being older and having more things and being possessive of where they all go. But we’re mostly settled in now. I can’t wait to show you some pictures when things are all squared away!
For my daughter’s teacher’s gift this year I knew I wanted to make her teacher an elegant scarf. I went to Harts Fabric (of course) and found this gorgeous Italian fabric. It’s a cotton/wool blend and was absolutely stunning. (Here’s a few other prints in the same type of fabric.)
I bought 3/4 a yard and cut it in half to make two pieces that I sewed together. Then I did a rolled hem all the way around the scarf.
Then I added this pretty floral lace trim around the two ends. I added it to both sides of the ends so you would see it no matter how the scarf was laying.
Here’s the finished scarf.
It makes a beautiful gift for someone (or one for yourself). The total cost of the project was about $10!
Have a beautiful weekend. I’m back Monday with a beautiful giveaway!

Yeah, I wish one of my students had a clever mum like you! Too late for me, I’ll just have to now work on being the mum who gives the best handmade pressies. This is such beautiful fabric.
