so i made a, erm, scarf. <PICS> and post your creations

[jo3 b]

i made a scarf. its the midsection of an old flannel shirt that was outta commission.

maybe i have something going here. comments and critique please.

the sewing job is the most shotty in the world, but its also the first time i actually was able to sew. so i'll give myself an e for effort. heh.

feel free to post your creations. thanks

[emaze]

it looks tight, I like the button idea... fresh... makes me want one now.

[cHr]

I like the color, first of all

Also dig the buttons. would definitely wear a scarf like that.

It reminds me of the sportsscarfs some italian footballgoalies (i know buffon and toldo used to) would wear during cold matches.

but will it keep you warm?

[oOmegaOo]

Simply genius. I had old articles of clothing on which I loved the patterns but couldn't wear anymore and trashed. This is what I should do to such items from now on.

[samsikle]

definitely very cool. if you were selling, i'd buy one. haha and the print on the old shirt is nice too

My thoughts EXACTLY.

Great job...I'm racking my brain trying to figure out the great stuff I got rid of and could have used

[jo3 b]

i'm surprised and extremely excited by all the positive remarks.

to the comment on warmth, i'll let you know

but anyway, i wouldn't ever try and sell something like this as you'd probably be able to easily make it yourself.

samsikle, if you need any help feel free to ask, although its pretty basic and you could probably pick it up from the pics.

and, i'd like to give credit to mike lowery for his home made scarf, as it was inspiration.

pics here:

i really plan on going a step further with his sweat shirt scarf as it seems like the most casual scarf possible and essentially thats what i'm going for.

[Point to B]

I love the pattern and the buttons are sick. Great job.

[shoreman1782]

So you just chopped out the middle of the shirt, and are buttoning the original buttons through the original placket? That's resourceful, and it looks pretty good.

Might be cool to recut it some, though, and re-sew the buttons so it's not so obviously the front of a shirt. Maybe that's part of the charm, though... Can't tell if it'd work better not to use the original placket--buttonholes are tough to make.

I actually have v.2 in the makes right now, so far I've made a pocket into it

[mwrenchd]

Love it! Makes me think of Ting's recycled leather stuff.

[goingforthegusto]

i like it. i don't think i can pull it off, nor can i pull of a normal scarf. but i like it. good job.

[lyingonyourdriveway]

michael is so cute, omg

[adsurgo]

I've seen the button thing before but it was with horns and loops.

[ko]

Nice job, I'm really liking that scarf. Now I'm thinking I need to make a trip to the thrift store to buy some flannels

[Double D]

That's a cool scarf. With the aid of a seamripper and some thread you could totally turn an old hoody into something like coldrice's hooded scarf.

[poly800rock]

copyright this shit, your scarf is gold. seriously

[nwhysee]

That is really cool, well done.

[mike lowrey]

oh and I definately agree with everyone, the scarf looks really nice and the buttons are an awesome touch!

[J20]

Sup_

Mikeys a genius.

Lookin' good my friend.

Very creative.

Peace.

[ardeetee]

really cool scarf, it's actually exactly what I had in mind with the buttons but I never had a chance to make it because I couldn't find the right fabric. Now it's inspiring me again, good job!

[jo3 b]

:\

thats what i wanted to happen in the first place...seems like nobody followed suit.

anyway, i made another one this morning but i'm not too sure i like it as much as my first

[B.oskar]

cool ideas! i just made a scarf out of and old blanket. i live in hawaii and will probably never use it. but whatever, just messing around. gonna make some new fits out of old clothes. i'll post pics later

[m1sterko]

wait i cant see the op pic... or am i missing something here

[Le Buttsecks]

or am i missing something here

yes, a time machine

[F A Y B A N]

Is this what everyone is raving over? I can't see the pics in the op.
