Silk Opera Scarf Instructions

Materials:

2 ¼ yard organza

2 ¼ yard silk

silk owers (see our How To at http://www.burdastyle.com/howtos/show/1500)

1. Fabric . For this beautiful opera scarf, you need one color in two types of fabric:

organza and chi on. The organza creates beautiful body and shape for the scarf, and the

chi on creates a nice light e ect for the eyes. For ours, we added a smattering of owers

across one end, making for an even more beautiful scarf. You could also experiment with

using di erent colors for the organza and chi on.

Cut

2. Mark rectangle on organza. Lay your organza out at. Using an L square and tailor’s

chalk, mark 77” x 20” rectangle. The long side of the rectangle will follow the straight

grain.

3. Layer chi on. Lay the chi on on top of the organza, matching the grainlines. You

should be able see your rectangle’s marking through the chi on.

4. Pin and cut. Pin the organza and chi on together, just inside the perimeter of the

rectangle. Cut out.

Sew rectangles together

5. Sew fabrics together. Be sure you are using the appropriate thread, needle and

tension for working with light fabrics. Using a short stitch length, sew the two fabrics

together using a ¼” seam allowance.

6. Trim the seam allowance to 1/8” all the way around your rectangle.

Baby Hem

7. Mark and turn. First we will baby hem the long ends of the rectangle. On the chi on

side, mark a ½” seam allowance down the long ends. Turn up by pressing.

8. Topstitch as close to the foldline as possible, about 1/8”.

9. Trim the seam allowance as close to the stitch line as possible.

10. Turn and press again: again as close to the stitch line as possible, as little as possible.

11. Stitch. Now, with the underside of the hem face up, stitch another line directly on

top of the rst one. Press and you’re done.

neaten the corners by folding the end of the seam allowance into a triangle to the inside

of the hem.
