Here is a simple tutorial for an infinity scarf, made with Fat Quarters.

We have selected four coordinating prints from the Lilliput collection, designed by Sharon Holland for Art Gallery Fabrics.

1.Cut out four coordinating fabrics: 17 ½ x 21 inches (approximately 44.5 x 53 cm).

If you prefer, you can use the entire Fat Quarter (removing the selvages), but for our sample, we use rectangles of 17 ½ x 21 inches.

2. For a longer scarf, sew the four fabrics together, one after the other, along the edge which measures 17 ½ inches (with a seam allowance of ¼ inch).

To make a wider, but shorter scarf, you can sew the four fabrics together along the longer side, 21 inches.

3. Press seams open.

4. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, right sides together.

5. Pin and sew together with a seam allowance of ¼ inch.

6. Press seams open.

7. Turn one end of the scarf inside the other and pull it up through the tube until it is flush with the other end of the scarf (similar to how some people roll up socks).

8. Match up the seam allowances and pin, marking a 3 to 4 inch opening.

9. Sew fabric together along the edge of the tube, stopping and leaving an opening of 3 to 4 inches so that you can turn the scarf inside out once you’ve finished; backstitch at opening for extra strength.

10. Turn the scarf inside out and iron it lightly.

11. Close the opening by hand sewing a ladder stitch, a whip stitch, or stitch close to the edge with your sewing machine.

And voilà, you’ve finished your infinity scarf!
