How to make a cravat

difficulty level- super easy

Supplies:

ribbon or a long strip of fabric/lace whatever. I refer to it as a ribbon here even though I actually used a long strip of the same lace fabric as the main part of the cravat.

fabric of some sort into long rectangular shapes.

something to sew with whether it be a needle/thread or a machine.



+ take your rectangular pieces of fabric. They can be decorated, they can be ripped or they can be really irregularly shaped. It's all up to you, really.

+Now layer them. I used four pieces and staggered them so it would look even more layered. you can use as many layers as you want.

+fold over said layers. I have four pieces and thus, eight layers total.

+ now you want to sew a line through them so that theres a little 'tube' of sorts. You can pin it before hand, but I chose not to. Make sure theres plenty of room to thread your ribbon through.


+Take out your thread and put it through the loop you created. I pulled it through with a pen but a safety pin seems to work without fail. I never seem to have any safety pins when I need them.

+ If your fabric is quite wide or you want it to look gathered, then gather it on the ribbon. Pin in place.
This step is optional. You don't really need to gather it.

+Now sew your cravat right to the ribbon so it can't slide around.


+It's finished! You can leave it as in or decorate it to your hearts content.

Is it lace that you're using there?
Sorry if this looks like a reaally stupid question, but I'm new to sewing and I'm just starting, sewing by hand, with little tuts I find on internet.
And this looks super simple and fun to do! The result is neat and I'd love to wear it with a peter pan collar blouse. Really really nice!
Hope you answer me ^^UUU

I'm using lace here but it's an all over lace fabric, and not edging lace.
