Vincent Briggs recently shared a video tutorial for making a leaf-shaped head scarf, and here's my first try, in a style intended to be considerably looser and more casual. I was hoping for MidCentury Vera style, but I'm nowhere near that ability, so this is what I ended up with
Continuing the hazy idea of making things that fit with Lagenlook or mori kei/dark mori or strega style, I decided I would make a Very Long Scarf.
I used the spiderweb lace yardage that I've used in small amounts before, in the layering shirt I made a bit over a year ago and in another shirt that I seem not to have blogged and no longer have. Huh.
I cut a lengthwise strip roughly 80" long by 24" wide (even more roughly 200cm x 60cm) and got into my lace stash where I rediscovered the thrifted 18 yard roll of black cluny lace, which, honestly, was the only length of black lace I had that was going to be long enough for this project. I sewed the lace to the edge all around with a narrow seam allowance, flipped it outward, and then sewed through all layers of that narrow seam allowance. Tedious, but easy.
And now I have a ridiculously dramatic spidery scarf
