Yeah I finally completed a sewing project. It’s not a big project but its something that got me into my sewing room. Woot Woot!! It’s time to rumble! Semester be done, I so excited to be in that room. Well here are a few pictures of my completed scarf. As the title of the post states its design #16 from the Ottobre women magazine (Fall 2009). School all up in my lingo “As the title of the post states” is exactly how I start most of my assignment.
You can see the official design on my post “Ottobre Women’s Fall/Winter.
As you can tell I went a bit crazy with the draping of this scarf. I’m going to be honest and say I’m following all the other sewing blogs by asking and answering questions. Enjoy the photos below and my thoughts that follow.

Serger: Brother Lock 1034 D
Time: 45 mins to 1 hr
Fabric: Purple Jersey Knit
Easy to Sew: Yes
Alterations: None

Would I make again: Yes, yes, yes I would sew a few more and play around with different fabrics, I do see
possibilities of altering the flounce. Its so easy to make a bunch of these for holiday gifts.
I’ve a few more sewing projects that are on hold till I’m done with school on December 7th. Thanks for stopping by, its a wonderful opportunity to share my sewing progress both the ups and downs.
I love this. It is so feminine with the ruffle and I am sure it is warm too. Cherrie
Oh I love it! It's gorgeous and so versitile!
Love it, in fact it's so much prettier than the inspiration. I wish you had photographed the wrap on a real body so I could see how the back drapes. Why the back? Well I'm having issues with a knitted one I made.
Thanks for the comment Rosaline, give me two weeks to be done with school and I'll get a picture on a real person.
WOW, I love this scarf… I noticed you are from Trinidad and Tobago, my husbands family is also from Trinidad. I have never been, but would love to visit some day! We live in Chicago, and my dad lives up in Wausau, WI. Its a small world….
