Day 236-fantastic elastic continued

Tonight I have tried out the swirl scarf again but this time with a different technique.

With last night's scarf I was hoping the scarf would twist around more.

Tonight I am using some red sheer fabric

 cut into a large circle

 and then cut the fabric out in a swirl

 instead of attaching the elastic straight away I have run a gathering stitch down the centre of the fabric first, that way when i do attach the fabric it will be twice as frilly and hopefully twice as curly

 this is how long it is with just the gathering stitch

 then i stitched the elastic down the centre, using tension on the elastic the whole way

 here is the final product, a super frilly fun scarf...

although its no really a scarf for practical purposes, its more like a fascinator for the neck,

perhaps a "scarfinator"

craft out
