Liberty of London's fabric section is a mecca for design. After seeing thousands of multi-hundred pound scarves in their accessory departmart, I was looking for something just as fabulous but more economical. Likewise, their fabric isn't priced to move, but their remnants section is second to none. I scored two pieces of purple, printed light-weight wool and two super thick silk prints in similar purples. Each piece was approximately 1sq meter...so you can see where this is going. I used my serger on a 2-thread roll hem with the narrowest stitch setting and made two double-layered scarves: shiny silk for comfort and luxurious matte wool for warmth. |
