Things You'll Need:
- Fabric (Silk twill and silk charmeuse are common fabrics to use)
- Scissors
- Taperule
- Sewing Thread
- Sewing Machine
-
Step 1
Cut a strip of fabric about 2 yds (1.8 m) long. To determine how wide the strip needs to be, multiply your desired finished belt/scarf width by two and add 0.5" (13 mm).
-
Step 2
Note: Alternatively, you can cut the fabric on the bias. With 44" (1.1 m) wide fabric, you can make a bias sash about 60" (1.5 m) long before having to add a seam.
-
Step 3
Fold the fabric strip in half lengthwise with right sides together and cut the ends at an angle.
-
Step 4
With a 0.25" (6 mm) seam allowance, sew the raw edges together along both angled ends and along the length of the fabric, leaving an opening of about 4" (10 cm),
-
Step 5
Trim the seam allowances at each corner, turn the sash right side out, and press.
Finish by either (a) slipstitching the opening closed or (b) topstitching close to edge along all four sides of the sash.
