Skirt into Infinity Scarf

I’m a little bit obsessed with scarves lately. Last weekend I made two! I’m sharing the scarf I made out of a skirt.

For Halloween, I bought a skirt for $3.99 at a thrift store as part of my costume as Professor Trelawney from Harry Potter.

My husband was Professor Snape. Striking resemblance, isn’t it?

Anyways, I knew I’d never wear that skirt again. But I loved the yellow in it. So, I made it into a scarf.

Here’s what I started with.

I tried to rip out the stitches around the elastic, but it wasn't working. Instead, I just chopped the top off. In hindsight, I should have made the cut a little straighter.

 Then I chopped off the bottom. What I was left with was one big loop. I had no idea how long it'd be. But I love the length!

Then I hemmed up each side. This is where I wish my cut had been straighter. Good thing it's a scarf and it's ok if it's a little big wonky.

My final product:

I love it!

From skirt to scarf:

It's one of my favorite refashions!
