#needleworkmonday :: Sewing a shawl vest (repurposing an old shawl)

I took one of my older shawls which had the frilly stuffs at the edges which I didn't want to be on my vest and cut the frilly edges.

But the shawl fabric started to fray. Using a needle, I removed some of the fabric threads...

and created a hairy edge:

Then, I folded the shawl and measured 6 by 6 inches from the top edge of the fold, made a mark and drew 10 inches from the mark vertically to the bottom:

I used a small sharp scissors to make an incision first before changing to the bigger scissors to cut through the 10 inches slit:

But the fabric frays all around the slit. Although it is a no sew vest, but unless you use a knit fabric, I guess, hemming will be needed. I did a 5mm double fold hemming using the sewing machine:

Ta-da!
