It’s 50 degrees today in Michigan. WOOOHOOOO!!! Perfect weather for my new, fabulous velveteen and voile scarf.
I think the velveteens make a lovely scarf for spring when paired with the voile, not too warm, but still really cosy. Quick check of sponsor fabric shops: Charmstitch, Pink Castle, and Fabricworm are still carrying a number of the velveteens at the time of this writing if you’re as into these as I am.

For you to sew!

Just wondering where you found the coordinating fabric? Those two pair together beautifully!
Hi Kimberly, the voile is also from Anna Maria Horner, it’s part of her “pastry line’. I’m pretty sure Pink Castle still has it. I know a number of the other sponsors on my blog (check the sidebar) carry the AMH voiles as well, not sure if they still have this one though!
I made one of these last year from one of AMH’s kits, and I love it! Your color combo is awesome, even WITH the green striped shirt!
You probably already HAVE left the house in this.
(I love it….blame the combo on Clementine if you feel the need)
Its okay to watch Battlestar Galactica (I assume that this is with Mr. Rae in the evenings). It’s super awesome! We are currently working our way through Quantum Leap.
Oh man, it is 65 over here in lansing. Windy but gorgeous!
Super cute!
The scarf is gorgeous. And there is nothing wrong with enjoying Battlestar Galactica. I have all the seasons on DVD and think it’s one of the best series in the last ten years, regardless of genre. Nerds of the world, unite!
Plus, it’s full of Canadian actors since it was shot in Vancouver. Like most shows with a supernatural, science fiction, or fantasy bent right now.
oh, how I love Battlestar Galactica. My husband has turned me on to so many wonderfully geeky things. Do you watch Doctor Who? It is our latest favorite.
Nice scarf, too.
oh heck yeah. David Tennant was my first (and favorite) Dr, but I like Matt Smith too. He’s cute with his bowtie.
Oh I’ve been tempted to make this scarf, now seeing it here I just may have to! It looks fabulous.
I LOVE the scarf! I love Battlestar Galactica! And to the commenter above, I LOVE Doctor Who!!! Gosh, it’s just fantastic! All these people who watch nerdy shows and are creative and sew. Makes me smile!!!
I *really* like this, great fabric combo and looks super on, nice job ;o)
seriously? I just might utterly duplicate this scarf, colorway and all. it is so delicious. with making the 18×72 cuts – did you join 2 widthwise (perpendicular to the selvage) cuts together before constructing the scarf, or did you cut one long piece parallel to the selvage?
LOVE IT! i got a 1/4 yd cut of liberty tana lawn to make something like this, but i got it right before you posted your last one of these and i’m sure it’d turn out a little snug, so i’ve been pondering how to make it work. hmmm…..
Must join in on the lovefest for Dr. Who and Battlestar! Tremendous shows!
The scarf is lovely too!
Hemming curtains really is horribly boring, but wouldn’t it be worth it to look at those lovely prints every day?
Personally, I think the stripey top and floral scarf look fab together! There’s a contrast to keep it interesting, but the colours tie in well. I would definitely go out wearing that top and scarf!
Beautiful Child, Beautiful Woman, Beautiful Cloth
Pretty as can be!
Love your version!
I made one of these too! For our tropical weather, i used but lightweight cotton from yoshiko jinzenji line instead. http://libeewhite.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/handmade-the-yoshiko-jinzenji-figure-8-scarf/
