Shimmery Silk Scarflette- Part 2 of 3

Completing the rectangle...


                                ...and adding a layer of bamboo and silk-blend fabric.


                                    Wetting out the project and folding in the edges...


                           ...then adding additional silk hankies to the project surface.


                                                    The reverse (wool) side.


                                             The finished scarflette (fabric side).


                                                    Using variegated thread...


                                        ...I machine embellished each silk circle...


                                       ...and with the same, multi-colored thread...


                                                   ...I fashioned a buttonhole.


                                                       The dyed silk hankies...


                                               ...appear as marble-like veins...


                                                       ...on the finished felt...


                                           ...and add to its shimmery appearance.


                                           The fabric side of the finished project.


                                         Next time: photos of the wool side...

                                ...and several different ways to wear the scarflette.
