Easy necklace / scarfe to make

A couple of months back a friend made a beautiful smocked cushion for her niece and I loved it so much she came over last night to teach me how to make one. While crafting and chatting away, she said "have you got an old t-shirt?" I went and got one and she started making this scarfe come necklace!! It was so easy. I took pictures as she went along!

 Lay the t-shirt flat and cut 2cm strips. It's important that the t-shirt has
some elastine in it so the fabric curls up

 

 

Once you have as many as you want, double the above pieces over
so it looks like below. Then cut a rectangle piece out of the t-shirt
and wrap it tightly over and over the end that has all the joins of the t-shirt
and stitch in place.

 

This is how it ends up! She has 2 on in the below picture.

 

I wore one of them today

 

As you can see it's amazingly simple. I know now that I'll be keeping an eye out at the Opp shops for nice coloured t-shirts!!

I made good headway with the smocked cushion, but it's a work in progress so I will show you when it's all finished!
