Baby clothes can get expensive. So, in an attempt to save a little money on winter items, I came up with an easy way to make a baby scarf from shirt sleeves. All you need is 1 old tshirt or thin sweater, scissors, straight pins, a threaded sewing machine, and embellishments (beads, appliques, fabric paint, etc; if desired)
Take your garment of choice, line up the end sleeve hole with the armpit and cut across. Do this with both sleeves so you will have 2 long pieces.
Turn 1 sleeve inside out and place over other sleeve. The right side out sleeve should be inside. Line up the cut edges and pin all around.
Place the sleeves over your sewing machine and sew around the edges. Be sure to backstitch the beginning and end to set your stitch.
When your done, take the open end of the top piece and pull off. Your sewn ends should be in the middle. Now you have scarf to keep your little one toasty and you saved a few bucks!
