Abstract
Abstract A method of making a reversible scarf with visor includes the steps of: (1) cutting two identical size crescent-shape fabric pieces from two different materials; (2) providing a crescent-shape flexible polycarbonate or equivalent stiffener; (3) placing the two crescent-shape fabric pieces in overlying wrong-side-out orientation; (4) stitching the two crescent-shape fabric pieces together along their convex edges to form an envelope; (5) turning the envelope right-side-out; (6) inserting the stiffener into the envelope; (7) stitching around the entire periphery of the envelope, through the stiffener, to form a visor; (8) cutting two identical size isosceles right triangle-shape fabric pieces from two different materials; (9) placing the two triangular fabric pieces in overlying wrong-side-out orientation; (10) placing the visor between the triangular fabric pieces, with a concave edge of the visor disposed centrally between two vertices on a hypotenuse of the triangular fabric pieces; (11) stitching around the periphery of the overlying triangular fabric pieces and through the concave edge of the visor to form a scarf, leaving an unsewn peripheral gap; (12) turning the scarf right-side-out by pulling the visor through the unsewn gap; and (13) stitching around the periphery of the scarf and through the concave edge of the visor. The completed scarf with visor has opposite sides with two different patterns and/or colors, allowing the scarf to be selectively reversed to provide two different ornamental appearances, due to the flexible nature of the visor.
