Alice in Wonderland Scarf

I made a scarf that can also be worn on the Mad Hatter’s Hat!

I used Alice Art Rubber Stamps and Alice 2 Art Rubber Stamps  from Sin City Stamps for the embellishments.   If you are an Alice in Wonderland fan, you will love these new stamps!

Here’s how I made the scarf.

Supplies:
Ink (I used ColorBox Chalk Ink in dark brown.)
Muslin (Mine was prewashed and tea dyed.)
Lace
Trims
Thread

I started by choosing some pretty blue lace wide enough for a scarf and cutting a length that would yield 64” after hemming.  I hemmed the ends.

I stamped the images onto the muslin with the Chalk Ink.  When it dried, I heat set the ink with my iron.  For more information about stamping on fabric, read this post.

Stamping the images (2)
I used a rotary cutter to trim around the images.

Trimming the images
I chose some trims.  I didn't end up using everything in the picture.

Choosing the trims
Then I pinned the trim and the image to the scarf, stitched them in place, and trimmed them.

You can wear it as a scarf.  Here it is on a dressform.

Or you can wrap the scarf around your Mad Hatter’s Hat.
