Sometimes sewing inspiration strikes but you feel like you don’t have enough time set aside. Well, if you are motivated to stitch, make a quick scarf. This week, part two of Sew Amazing Scarves is the featured online, streaming video, where you’ll learn how to create six scarf options.
Listed below are the scarf designs. Vote for your favorite and you could be the random winner of the book Sew Amazing Scarves, featuring 20 scarf techniques in all! Details are listed at the end of this blog.
Knot Your Average Scarf
Knot Your Average Scarf is the first scarf option you’ll see demonstrated online. Use either knit or woven fabric; the scarf has a definite focal point. You’ll learn how to knot, and then sew!
20-Minute Scarf
Ever think you could complete a sewing project in a less than a half hour? It’s true! The 20-Minute Scarf takes about 10 minutes to cut and another 10 minutes to sew or serge. With only four seams, the 20-Minute Scarf just may become your go-to gift to serge or sew!
S-Curve Scarf
Different fabrics, different looks—that statement couldn’t be more obvious when looking at these two scarf options. Even though the same pattern was used, the edge finish plus the fabric choice changed this scarf from elegant to casual. It’s called an S-Curve Scarf. Two donut shapes are the pattern pieces. Wonder how it’s made? I think you’ll be surprised!
Lettuce-Edge S-Curve Scarf
Flirty Scarf
This scarf started out as six circles. With a little creative cutting, each circle turns into a flounce. It’s practically a no-sew technique, since non-raveling interlock knit is the fabric of choice.
All Knotted Up Scarf
For scarves with plenty of dimension and texture, turn knit fabric into yarn-type strips and tie knots! From fleece to slinky knit, use 1/2 yard of fabric or less to fashion your version of the All Knotted Up Scarf.

Sensational Scarves book and she loves them. I know she will fall in love with the flirty scarf. Thanks Nancy, for all your creativeness.
I love all of them, but the S-curve scarf is my favorite- it would make a great gift!
The S-Curve is so elegant.
I like the All-Knotted Up Scarf – I’ve done T-shirt yarn and I like the interesting, funky look of this scarf but the 20-minute scarf runs a very close second!

S-curve & Lettuce S-curve scarves. I like both & can’t decide which I like best, although all of them are nice.
The look of the S-Curve scarf really appeals to me because it could be worn with blue jeans for a casual look or the right fabric could glam it up for an evening outing.
Dear Nancy,
I really like the flirty scarf. As I said before I wear lots of scarves. Mine are pretty plain compared to the beautiful ones that you make! Thanks for sharing. I sew enjoy your blogs.

If I had to choose just one it would be the twenty minute scarf. They would all be made eventually because there are a lot of women in my family and I am sure they would all like to own a few.

I have already made two of the scarves from the first episode, now I am excited to try several of these. Knot Your Average Scarf will be my first, except I will make it short like the Infinity scarf you wore in the first. I would love to have the book instead of my scribbled notes to take to the sewing room! Thanks for helping me update my look.
I love scarves, so everyone is beautiful, the easy sewing instructions are the best. I love your show, and have you books, you are an inspiration to all.
I like the flirty scarf, maybe because it appears dressy.
I love the 20 minute scarf! Easy & so many different variations with fabrics.
I like them all, but the S-Curve is my favorite. It looks light and not to heavy.
The flirty scarf is really great. I would not guess how it was made!
I like the s-curve scarf for my three granddaughters, all in college, and their mothers and a daughter-in-law. They like to wear a scarf with everything so it is easy to quickly make and get it in the mail. Then we are all happy!
Thank you for all of your ideas and also that you don’t charge a fee for every single thing you teach. Your loyal fan , dorene
I vote the s-curve for sure—because I think it stands for simple and that is the theme of these scarves.. anxiously creating time to make a bunch for gifts and maybe even get to keep one for myself!!!
