Make this triangular shawl from a square of fabric.

Here are five methods that you may use to make your shawl.

SUPPLIES:

Fabric:

1-1/2yards of 54" fabric
or
1-2/3 yards of 60" fabric.

Trim:

Trim the shawl with purchased fringe or beaded trim.

You will need:

3 yards of trim or fringe for the 54" square

3-1/3 yards of trim for a 60" square.

CONSTRUCTION:

Square the ends of your fabric.

METHOD 1

Trim the shawl with fringe.

Stitch fringe along 2 sides of the shawl 1/2" from the
edge on the right side of the fabric. Make sure the ends
of the fringe are towards the inside of the shawl.

To make the shawl:

1. Fold the square into a triangle with the right sides
together.

2. Pin and stitch through the same stitching that attached
the fringe to the fabric.

3. Leave an opening 3" to 4" along one edge.

4. Turn the shawl right side out through the opening.

5. Press well.

6. Slip stitch the opening closed.

METHOD 2

Finish with topstitching and no trim.

1. Fold the square into a triangle with the right sides
together.

2. Stitch a 1/2" seam on the two sides of the shawl leaving an
opening 3" to 4" along one edge.

3. Turn the shawl to the right side through the 3" opening.

4. Press well.

5. Slipstitch the opening closed.

6. Topstitch 3/8" from the two outer seamed edges.

METHOD 3

Outside stitched purchased trim

1. Stitch and turn the shawl as above.

2. Press well.

3. Topstitch purchased trim on the two outer seamed edges.

METHOD 4

Bias ruffle trim

1. Make a bias ruffle doubled the finished width desired plus
1" for two 1/2" seam allowances.

2. Cut the length double the length you need. (6 yards long for
a 54" shawl or 6-2/3yards long for a 60" shawl)

3. For a 3" wide finished ruffle, cut bias 7" wide.

4. Fold in half.

5. Baste stitch raw edges together 1/2" from the edges.

6. Pull up gathers to fit the shawl.

7. Stitch the ruffle to two edges of the shawl.

8. Sew on the ruffle the same as the fringe in METHOD 1.

METHOD 5

Make your own hand knotted fringe on a finished shawl.

1. Use embroidery floss or yarn.

2. Cut strands 9" long to make 4" long finished fringe.

3. Fold strands in half.

4. With a crochet hook, push a hole in about 1/2" from the
edge of the finished shawl.

5. Pull the 4 folds of yarn or floss through the fabric to the
right side forming a loop.

6. Then, bring the 8 ends through the loop.

7. Pull them away from the fabric until the loop lies flat.

8. Place loops close to each other all across the fabric.

9. Trim the cut ends of the fringe evenly.

10. Wear with loops showing.

To wear your shawl:

Wear your shawl with two ends tied on the inside at your
waistline in the back. It creates the look of a shrug and
will always stay in place.

appreciated by everyone!

The 2009-2014 World Outlook for Schiffli Machine Embroidery

This econometric study covers the world outlook for Schiffli machine embroidery across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the 230 countries of the world). This study gives, however, my estimates for the worldwide latent demand, or the P.I.E., for Schiffli machine embroidery. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided across the world's regional and national markets. For each country, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time (positive or negative growth). In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on international strategic planning at graduate schools of business.
