I don't. I keep it away from the body so it just falls.

How far in towards the body do you sew?

Rica Mendes

Absolutely! I just can't find my serger's power cord! LOL!

Cute & very simple. I would think you could also do this on a serger as well? Perhaps serging the seams to the outside as well as the bottom edge and neckline with a contrasting thread color to give it a different look? The scarf that goes with it is a very nice touch as well. Thanks for sharing this. :)

I think it was 1.5 yards. You can use as much as you want depending on the length you want.
