<br />
For this easy scarf tutorial, you will need:<br />
<br />
Scissors<br />
Seam ripper, awl, or other tool with a small pointed end<br />
Woven flannel fabric. Our absolute favorite is the <a href="http://www.pickingdaisiesinslo.com/fabric/flannel/yarn-dyed-cotton/?mode=grid&limit=12&sort=popular&max=10&min=0&sort=newest&brand=0" target="_blank">Robert Kaufman Mammoth and Shetland Flannels</a><br />
<br />
<br />

Fabric Cuts:<br />
<br />
If you prefer a small scarf, then you will need 1/2 yard of 44"wide woven flannel fabric. Your finished scarf will measure 16" by 42".<br />
<br />
I prefer a great big wrap of a scarf, so I purchase 2 yards and cut it in half lengthwise to make TWO 20" by 72" scarves.... one for me and one for a friend.<br />
<br />
I like to pre-wash and dry my fabric first. If your fabric is pre-cut, be prepared for a bit of fraying during the laundering. <br />
<br />
Once your fabric is prepared, take your scissors and by carefully using a line in the weave as your guide, cut off the frayed and irregular edges of the fabric. You will do this on all four sides of the scarf.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqtPtcNt-mb_ZwtnNBVLLj9l29-YbXZdBUcUjqgi5-4E8l_5vbC3QJ9ZjRdoyk3GUmcxNvhB_nhXcef_C05sYaEVhDTHj2Sp-k2r2MmawSXGVp6qpzUUKZRa18Sti7AHGH9YXNXQY_6AE/s1600/Blog+Prewash+then+cut+fabric.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqtPtcNt-mb_ZwtnNBVLLj9l29-YbXZdBUcUjqgi5-4E8l_5vbC3QJ9ZjRdoyk3GUmcxNvhB_nhXcef_C05sYaEVhDTHj2Sp-k2r2MmawSXGVp6qpzUUKZRa18Sti7AHGH9YXNXQY_6AE/s640/Blog+Prewash+then+cut+fabric.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Now for the fun part. Using your seam ripper, start pulling out the cross weave threads along one short end. I usually fray about 3/4 inch down, though you can certainly fray the ends up to a few inches... personal preference applies here. Once you finish both short ends of the scarves, start pulling the cross weaves along the two long sides of the scarf. The long sides I usually keep a bit shorter (1/2 inch of fray or less).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhavQ5AzzG7_TKUeOY5ZWhQInqHW87zl-2ZZLMrtZwvP9E8FASkNHQP_kOgW_Oesm9c1Q4pK0vdTDX2Ky6QFAP6fvUVLueWpnAOkxkCK_gAQwwyiNjWBJTXPJoDvbWaheUWUfUEE1jlwvg/s1600/Blog+picking+and+pulling+threads.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhavQ5AzzG7_TKUeOY5ZWhQInqHW87zl-2ZZLMrtZwvP9E8FASkNHQP_kOgW_Oesm9c1Q4pK0vdTDX2Ky6QFAP6fvUVLueWpnAOkxkCK_gAQwwyiNjWBJTXPJoDvbWaheUWUfUEE1jlwvg/s640/Blog+picking+and+pulling+threads.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
When you've finished all four sides, you will have corners that look similar to this...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
And just that easily, your scarf is ready to wear! Wrap your scarf around you and start enjoying it.<br />
<br />
After making my first scarf, I was a bit curious about further fraying with wear and tear, and washing.<br />
So I did an experiment with my sewing machine...<br />
<br />
Along only one end and one side of the scarf (so, only half of the scarf) I sewed a stay stitch carefully along the edge between the frayed and not-frayed fabric.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVWdBMIsbhdGBrRvHtHVcZpcPVOmmHLmazAtqDb04GpnDF3g9eDFNxi1gqeNmDfhw5_sLJkN-A4cZclQaNb_wxY_qjfhDpoeczKtBo5h8ZRnuVaGu7S9IowA4kNqf8E_2z205GK9EF8js/s1600/Blog+sew.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVWdBMIsbhdGBrRvHtHVcZpcPVOmmHLmazAtqDb04GpnDF3g9eDFNxi1gqeNmDfhw5_sLJkN-A4cZclQaNb_wxY_qjfhDpoeczKtBo5h8ZRnuVaGu7S9IowA4kNqf8E_2z205GK9EF8js/s320/Blog+sew.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The other half of the scarf I did not sew. Then I washed it. Because I wanted to simulate a bit of wearing and washing, I actually gave it a rough washing and drying with a load of towels.<br />
<br />
Below are the results after washing and drying. The sides that were not sewn have a couple of loose cross weave threads that might need to be pulled, whereas the sewn side does not. But the difference is so slight that using a sewing machine to stay stitch the scarves seems completely unnecessary. It it easy to just pull a few frayed threads here and there as necessary. It truly is a No-Sew project!<br />

<span style="font-size: 18px;">I am sure it seems strange for a retailer to be telling you to BUY LESS, but facts show that by simply using what we buy for a longer period of time has one of the greatest positive impacts on related carbon, waste, and water footprints - simply because we’re making and throwing away less.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 18px;">Being discerning consumers and choosing quality products with longer useful lives is such an easy step to take, and one that can have a positive impact on our environment</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 18px;">.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18px;">At Picking Daisies, we are very proud of the quality cotton napkins we make. Customers tell us all the time that they last for years. We are always looking to purchase quality … in both our raw materials and in the retail goods we sell.</span></div>

<br />
We have just introduced a line of ready-made Picking Daisies Tablecloths - the idea of which formed when we found some fabulous lightweight canvas fabrics in prints we absolutely loved.<br />
<br />
We were even more delighted after we washed and dried our first sample tablecloth - OMG! It looks beautiful right out of the dryer. We have that sample in the shop to show you.<br />
<br />
And then we had a really fun photo shoot with an amazing photographer: <a href="http://www.henry-bruington.squarespace.com/" target="_blank">Henry Bruington</a>.<br />
<br />
Click on the fabric name below each image to see a detailed fabric swatch, as well as sizing and pricing.<br />

I want to buy everything they sell, do everything they do, and be everything they are.<br />
<br />
But in the interest of sanity, for now I will just focus on their patterns. I've purchased two (so far!) and both have been a dream to sew. I had never sewn using a "<a href="http://merchantandmills.com/patterns/">card pattern</a>" before, and now that I have, it will be hard to go back to traditional paper patterns.<br />
<br />
Plus!... it arrived all the way from England rolled in a tube, which seemed so special.<br />
<br />

The first dress I made is their "<a href="http://merchantandmills.com/products/patterns/the-factory-dress/">Factory Dress</a>", shown below. My finished dress is on the left and their model is showing off their version on the right. I made mine using the fabric pictured: <a href="http://www.pickingdaisiesinslo.com/index.php?search=yarn%20dyed">Robert Kaufman's Yarn-Dyed Essex</a> that we sell here at <a href="http://www.pickingdaisiesinslo.com/index.php?search=yarn%20dyed">Picking Daisies</a>. It is a linen and cotton blend. I love the visual texture, weight and drape of this fabric, and am thinking about making this dress again using one of the other colors we carry. And it will also be fun to make one in one of the cotton prints we have.<br />

The second dress I made is their "<a href="http://merchantandmills.com/products/patterns/2-the-dress-shirt-pattern/">Shirt Dress</a>", shown below. Again it was a delight to sew. I completed the entire dress in about 5 hours yesterday. The only "whoops" is that the wonderful fabric I chose (from <a href="http://www.pickingdaisiesinslo.com/index.php?search=fabric,%20indian%20summer">Art Gallery's Indian Summer line</a>) makes it look a bit like a nightdress. I seem to have a bad habit of choosing fabrics that I love, like this one, rather than choosing the best fabric for the item I'm sewing. I guess that is just a handicap of owning a fabric store - I get do easily sidetracked by our wonderful array of fabric.<br />

Therefore, I am going to make it again right away. (only 5 hours, right?) This time I will use one of <a href="http://www.pickingdaisiesinslo.com/index.php?search=roman%20stripe">Kaffe Fassett's woven shot cottons, Roman Stripe in Blood Orange</a> pictured above, bottom right.<br />

<br />
We are so excited to now be carrying fabrics from fabric designer and artist Marcia Derse. Her designs are so rich and sophisticated, very different from anything we've carried before.<br />
<br />
I was going to give you a brief description of her process, but then I realized you need to just read it for yourself: <a href="http://www.marciaderse.com/" target="_blank">Marcia Derse's Artist's Statement</a><br />
<br />
Just look at this amazing quilt made from her fabrics:<br />

<br />
We've recently begun <a href="http://www.pickingdaisiesinslo.com/index.php?c=244" target="_blank">selling toweling at Picking Daisies</a>. It comes on a roll and is 16" wide and hemmed all along the width. The idea is that you can cut it into your desired dish towel size and just hem the ends.<br />
<br />
But there is <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">oh, so much more</span> that you can do with toweling. We've searched the web for you and brought together some of our favorite ideas.<br />
