Weston Wear Scarf

Sometimes I need a break from cooking, and crafting is usually the direction I take. I have a lot of more complicated projects in the works, but today I opted for instant gratification with a Weston Wear scarf.

For those who don't know, WW makes most of its clothing using a lightweight, stretchy, mesh fabric in bold patterns. I think their clothes are really fun to wear, comfortable, and great for travel because they're easy to handwash and dry quickly. Sometimes, their flagship store/outlet in San Francisco sells fabric leftover from large factory runs. Because of the way the fabric is woven, all I had to do to make a scarf was cut along the edge of the leaf pattern. No hemming necessary! The scarf drapes to about knee length, but is lightweight enough to loop around my neck several times or open up as a wrap/blanket. So fun, and perfect for what San Francisco jokingly calls summer.
