Step-by-Step Instructions for Sewing Fashion Scarves

Fashion scarves are used as an accessory for many women. The scarves are not used for keeping warm during the winter, but to class up an outfit. You can create these beautiful scarves to match any outfit by using a matching fabric, scissors, and a sewing machine. You can add to the design of the scarf using yarn, lace or embellishments.

• Pick a fabric that you love and will accent any outfit. The most common fabric for fashion scarves is silk but it is acceptable to use satin fabric. Always use caution when cutting silk or satin fabrics to ensure you do not fray the fabric.


• Cut the fabric to a size of about 40 to 45-inches long and three to 4-inches wide.


• Sew a simple rolled hem around the four edges of the scarf. If a simple scarf is what you want then the scarf can be worn with just the hemming.


• Select lace or yarn to create a fringe around the scarf and add personality.


• Take the lace and cut about a 2-inch band the exact width of the scarf. Use a tape measure to get the exact size needed is suggested.


• Sew the lace on the two ends of the scarf.


• For yarn fringe accents take the yarn and wrap it around an object that is the length of the fringe you desire.


• Take a piece of the yarn and feed it through one side of the object.


• Loosely tie the string around the fringe.


• Take your scissors and cut the opposite end of the yarn.


• Sew the yarn fringe on each end of the scarf.


• You can add embellishments to the scarf to create a unique design.
