With the fall weather changing constantly, you can never be sure if you’ll be hot or cold. That’s why its good to have a little shrug ready to take with you to work, the park, or pumpkin hunting.

This is a simple sewing project that my friend found on Pintrest. It’s very easy and I even sewed it by hand! Because I don’t have a sewing machine (shocking for a modern domestica, I know!).

Here is the tutorial by Cut Out and Keep. The instructions are very simple so I thought there was no need to re-write them. However here are some tips or ideas I had:

• You can use a T-shirt or a long sleeved top, but you want it to be slightly loose. If its too tight, then the shrug will be even tighter. 
• Once you have pulled the ribbon through the casing, sew it in one spot at the top of your shirt, were your neck will be. That way when you wash it the ribbon won’t come out. Trust me, redoing the ribbon every time you wash is no fun.
• You could sew this shrug to a strapless or spaghetti strap dress in order to give it sleeves. 
• For a fun look, add pom poms, tassels or other fun things to the ends of the ribbon.

Hand sewn!
