Thursday, July 29, 2004 AD Rats, My Longest Scarf Wasn't Long Enough Random friendly 7-11 proprietor shows how to construct the perfect turban (link from Paulo). According to my calculations, "really long" (see step 3) = more than 7 feet, which is the length of my longest scarf, made of a remnant of hot pink Indian silk I found at G Street a few years ago. G Street is the most amazing fabric store I have ever seen. Two floors of fabrics from all over the world. Most of the stuff I lusted after was entirely-too-expensive Asian silks. I also loved some of the African batiks and other prints, but they were so stiff -- almost starched-stiff. I wonder if they would soften with a few washings. Have any of you seamstresses ever played with them? Posted by Valerie (Kyriosity) at 7/29/2004 11:26:00 PM
