I have been having a wonderful time serging scarves lately. A serger (or overlock) is a special machine that makes a perfect finished edge. On my new scarf above (love it!) you can see that I've serged one of the edges (gray) in what is called a "3 thread rolled edge."
Before I go on to serge the rest of it, I wanted you to see the color chart that comes on the edge of most fabrics. It shows an isolated list of the exact shades used in the print. When I am choosing fabrics to make into scarves, I find it helpful to look at the color chart and say, "Do I have any t-shirts in these colors?" If I do, adding this fabric as a scarf will make a whole new outfit.
