Oh yah! I made some ruffled scarves!

Almost forgot about these, in the midst of quilting lately. I wanted to make some thing cute and ruffle-y for a friend...we've felt ruffled together many-o-times, after all! She and I have 3 kids all roughly the same age. In fact, we got the timing down to a science and by the third set, they are only 4 days apart! We are now both basking in the glory of our youngest girls in preschool and have a couple hours of FREE TIME in the mornings a couple times per week. So, we decided to have brunch...I swear it was the longest uninterrupted conversation we have ever had!

Anyways, I had picked up some cute lime plaid at a local fabric shop awhile back. My now-preschool daughter, Last But Not Least, wanted in on the fun and was helping me sew!

I love her little orange nail polished fingers!
My original idea was to make a cowl (love those!), but with the ruffles, it looked more like the neck on a clown costume....

So. I joined 2 together, and made a scarf instead! In fact, I made two...one to give and one to keep.

I love the little fringed selvage :-) Left it on as the ends.

A great way to jazz up jeans and a t-shirt :-)
I thought of doing a tutorial on this, but there are a million out there. If you want one, let me know!
