Sew a Simple Kerchief
Embellish a Kerchief

These simple kerchiefs are the rage in my area. When shopping with the kids I was totally floored by the workmanship on these. We found one in a dollar store, with totally raw edges and irregular stitches. One washing and they would be rags. I have also seen packaged ones at convenience stores for five dollars. After seeing the dollar store variety, I would be skeptical of making the purchase. Here are simple directions to make them with any decorations that suit your fancy.

Materials needed:

  • Fabric - a 12 to 14" square will yield two scarves
  • 1 yard of 1/4" wide double fold bias tape
  • Optional trims
