Way back here I talked about the scarf I started with a piece of shibori dyed silk. I decided that I finally had enough of the sashiko-style stitching on it, and was ready to finish it.
I used a quilt binding to enclose the ends. However, I cut the two strips only 1 1/8" wide, because I neither needed nor desired a sturdier binding. I ironed over 1/4" along the long side, and folded over the short ends.
Then I sewed the unpressed side of the strip to the end of the scarf. . .
. . . and ironed it over the cut edges.
Then I simply folded the binding over the raw edge and hand-sewed it down.
All finished!
I am fortunate enough to have GranddaughterStitches here to model the scarf for me!
The final dimensions are 21" wide by 64" long, a pretty good size for a scarf.
