Winter Linen Scarves
Today has been a much nicer weather day than yesterday, complete with lovely sunshine and hardly any clouds. This means that I was finally able to take some photos of what I have been working on lately…
Last week I found some polka-dot flannel at the fabric store and absolutely had to have it! (Who doesn’t love polka dots + warm flannel and together can you really resist that:) I didn’t really know what I was going to use it for but thought about it and decided it would be perfect for scarves, since I was thinking about making some more linen & patchwork scarves. The funny part is that I made three scarves, but never used the polka dot flannel so there will definitely be more scarves in the very near future… (probably this week even.)
Brown + Blue (Sold:)
Hedgehogs + Squirrels (I actually used some of my Japanese fabrics for this one… :) (Sold:)
Pink + Brown
All 3 scarves Just the pink & brown scarf is left in my etsy shop… (Although I seriously considered keeping these for myself too! :)
I love these! I’ve been making a couple of scarves myself. Flannel is a wonderful idea.
Love those scarves Chara! Nice work.
FYI: I recently posted a recap of the Stitch indie craft bazaar in Austin, Texas. I am also hosting a swag bag giveaway. I’d love for you to enter & to pass the word on to your friends!
Cheers,
Jessica

Oh these are great! I love the pink and brown! -kb
Those are amazing Chara! I’m happy to see you’ve used some of your Japanese fabric, I know that’s hard to do!
Of course! I love the blue & brown one & it’s gone already!! But can you tell me where you got the blue & brown fabric? I need/want to make a new work bag to shlep all my crap & that fabric combo woudl be perfect!
ooh - these are so pretty. i’ve been making a few patchwork scarves myself with flannel. for some reason linen feels scratchy to me.
Lovely! I like your choice of fabrics :-)
how awesome are those?! scarves are on my list this week as well!
cute.
Those are so pretty! I’ve been wanting to try my hand at scarves for a while now, now you’ve inspired me to get to it ;-)
the scarves are very nice. I love seeing how different fabric choices makes such a difference in the end product.
Flannel is a great idea, they look so chic and cozy.
You have a great eye for cordinating the colors and patterns.
These are beautiful scarves Chara! I love the fabric combinations.
Chara, the scarves are so great. The colors and patterns work so well together!
The scarves look fabulous!
Making patchwork scarves has been on my to do-list for months… I really must do it now; it’s getting really cold here!
I was just wondering… what did you use for the back?
wow, these look great!!
I love these scarfs you made. The colours and the fabrics you’ve combined.
Absolutely gorgeous!
those scarves are stunning. love the pink with the gold. delicious.
oh, and you’re it.

OMG for the squirrel fabric–I bought the whole bolt at JoAnn’s so I can make pjs for my boyfriend, mostly as a tribute to how we laugh over Mark Trail’s love of squirrels! Anyway, I never thought about making a scarf out of the fabric–what a great way to use up leftovers!
