QuestionWhat measurements should the lining be on the scarf?Community AnswerIt depends on you. Personally, Do 1/4 of an inch if you only have a sewing machine. It has to be delicate, to fit the feel of the silk. The thinner, the better. You could do a rolled hem with your serger (switch to R and put your needle the farthest at the right), too.
Things You'll Need
- Fabric,
- iron,
- hand sewing needles or sewing machine,
- complementary or matching thread.
