We are going strong in Iceland and I have limited access to my computer and internet. Visit the d&m abroad blog to follow our journey.
This week we will focus on preparing the 6"x6" squares.
Technique:
Cut a 6” x 6” cardboard square to use as a template . Remember you will need a total of 16 to complete the project. I suggest cutting an additional 4 to experiment with.
Place the template on the tee where you would like to make your square. You can cut 2-4 layers of fabric at one time if your scissors are sharp. Make sure to place your template carefully over any graphics you want to preserve.
You have the option with one 6" x12" and two 6"x6" to capture a larger screen image from the tee if you use a multiple of the 6" x6", for example, cut a 6"x12" rectangle,
Next week well put these together and have our final result.
-till next week Restore, Recycle, Refresh & Renew

Again, I think that making scarfs out of recycled fabrics is a great idea. Not only do you get to keep some of your favorite garments by using them in other ways but you get a brand new cool scarf that you yourself put together out of it. Although I think it is great to make templates and cut squares, I would also try to experiment and be creative by trying to find alternate ways to make a unique scarf. For example, I think making a scarf of knots from the scrap fabrics would end up being really interesting and fun.
