$5 Christmas---An Infinity Scarf

While perusing the local dollar store a couple of weeks ago {please tell me that I am not the only one}, I saw a stack of sweatpants sitting in a bottom bin.  And the fabric hoarder voice in me said, "hmmm.....that's a lot of fabric for a dollar."  And so I bought a pair of size XXL purple fleece sweatpants and threw them in my "to be sewn pile." 

Well, then one afternoon, I pulled them out and saw that the inside was a soft fleece and a very pretty purple color and decided to do something with them. 

So, I turned them into an infinity scarf.  In about 15 minutes flat.  I didn't take a lot of pictures, so I will do my best to explain what I did.  And the best part of the deal is they cost 50 cents a piece --2 for a dollar? Seriously.  And they look so cute.

Here's what I did...

(I used the inside as my "right sides"---it was such a pretty color and textured fleece.)

And you are done.  An easy peasy Christmas present for any fashion girl on your list.  Or neighbor.  Or friend.  Or you!
