Fulling the piece.
The finished silk hankie-embellished scarflette...
...with bits of re-purposed silk.
On the reverse side...
...the dyed Mawata hankies resemble colorful spider webs.
The embroidered flower on the ecru silk piece...
...is a detail from the original re-purposed garment.
With two differently decorated sides to this scarflette...
...it's easily reversible for a radically different look.
...and reinforced it with a circle of black leather on the back...
...then hand-edged a simple buttonhole with embroidery floss.
The finished scarflette!
Next time: I repeat this project in very different colors.

Oh wow, I bet that is one soft scarf. :)
Bright and vivid - and a whole story that it tells!
Sandie--Yes...the merino and silk combo is fantastic that way!
Rachel--The next one is even brighter! :)
So enjoyable following your progress with the scarflettes! It’s very inspiring to see what can be done with bits of wool, silk and imagination!
