How to Sew an Infinity Scarf:
Pre-wash the fabric before cutting and sewing.
Depending on the fiber content, some shrinkage might occur.
It is always much better for fabric to shrink before a project is finished than after.
Cut a large rectangular shape measuring 20 long by 60 wide.
Fabric is typically sold in 60 (150cm) widths or 45 (114cm) widths.
For this particular infinity scarf, I chose a fabric that was wider in width.
The best way to finish the joining seam for this infinity scarf is with a french seam.
A french seam is one that encloses the seam allowance so that no raw edge is visible.
Sew the short ends of the rectangle closed with a 1/4 seam allowance.
Press the seam allowance open.
Turn the right side out and press along the seam line as shown.
Press the clean finished seam to one side.
Lastly, finish the remaining cut edges one side at a time.
Fold the cut edges in towards the wrong side by 14 and press in place.
Fold again another 1/4 to hide the raw edge and press in place.
Stitch the hem in place using a regular presser foot.
