In Response To: OT: other type of scarf *PIC* (Paul G. Jacobson)

: I make those, too. Great gifts for yuletide.

: A yard of 60" polarfleece (R) or the generic equivalent, makes
: 4 lightweight scarves, or two thicker ones. For light weight
: scarf, cut pieces 9" wide by the 60" width. Leave the
: ends square, or make cuts about 1/2 inch apart, and tug on them
: to stretch them into a fringe edge. No sewing needed. For
: heavier scarves, cut the fabric 18" by 80", fold in
: half, and sew closed the long edge. Turn it inside out to hide
: the seam edges and fringe the ends like I just described.

: When fleece is on sale for $5 a yard or less (end-of-season sales
: going on now) I buy a few yards of neutral colors and knock out
: a $10 scarf in about 5 minutes for about $1.25. With a
: straightedge and a roller cutter--same tools used for cutting
: bias glass strips--I knock 'em out like an assembly line. Start
: now, only 300 days to Xmas.

: PGJ

I don't see a scarf in that scarf .
