Scarf Week 2015: A Week of Killer Inspiration

We live in a crazy world.  So, it can be a relief to know there are a few constants we can rely on.

After winter, must come spring.

What goes up must come down.

And when Shark Week comes back with a vengeance every summer, so does Scarf Week return!  That’s right.  Today at 10 a.m. eastern, we are kicking off the Second Annual Scarf Week here in blogland, and this time it really is bigger…better…scarfy-er.  

Welcome to Scarf Week 2015! Bigger, better, scarfy-er. July 6 - 10, 2015. We've got t-shirt scarves, dyed-painted-stamped scarves, scarves for sewists, knitted & crocheted scarves, and scarf re-fashions! It's going to be a killer week of inspiration, no fish-bones about it.

That’s because I’m joined by not one, not two, but a whole gaggle of talented creators who will share their scarf-tastic creations with you, Monday through Friday this week.

So, you don’t have to waste your life away, glued to the TV watching shark attack footage all week.  Instead, you can follow some pretty inspirational tutorials and D.I.Y. scarves of your own while you watch.  Thumbs up for multi-tasking!

Scarf Week is back!  And it's going to be bigger, better, and scarf-yer.  So, pin this post and hold on to your shark saddle because it's going to be a wild ride!

Truly, it’s going to be a killer week of inspiration, no fish-bones about it…and let me warn you now, the bad puns will run rampant yet again!  But it’s just one week, so I’ve got to milk it for all it’s worth.  {Sly grin.}

Home Base

This post will serve as “home base” post for the series, and it contains the clickable collages for each of the 5 days of Scarf Week all in one place.

So, pin it now!  You’re not going to want to lose track of this one.  Trust me!

  1. I have another one is fabric that is preruffled. All you have to do is use it as is. Or you can double it. i have done both. love it.

      1. Yes, it is so clever! By the way, dad brought down some old baseball t-shirts of yours and your sister’s from your childhood. Ready to donate to Salvation Army unless you can think of a sharky/clever way to use them.

Your comments make my day!
