My desert wardrobe gets a little boring: tank top, jeans and flip flops….year round.
I made this easy cowl scarf out of some taupe tie dyed knit to spruce it up a bit.
First, I cut 2 long strips of knit, each measuring about 36″ x 8″:
I used my serger to sew the long sides together with contrasting bright thread:
Next, I twisted the scarf in the center, matched up the ends and sewed them together:
Lastly, I used my serger to finish all the way around the edge of the scarf:
Easy! Mix it up by using contrasting fabrics for each strip!

Ok- I have three ideas for a name…
1."desert sketch"
2. "native block"
3. "festive earth"
Not really sure why these names, just what came to mind while looking at the print.

I just wanted to encourage you in this season of change. I am a stage4 breast cancer survivor. My faith in CHRIST BECAME STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE. One of the major adjustments I made in my every day life was to choose Joy. In Hebrews one reason that he could claim ultimate deity was because he had been anointed with the oil of joy. god is not a savior of confusion. God is a savior of order. God knows all and he has you in the palm of his hand. I will pray for you
