Simple Gathered Scarves

I wanted to get some trendy new, flouncy, gathered up scarves recently but went out and found most to be around $30 to $40 each. I came home and dragged out all of my old long scarves. I then picked out some of the longest and hand stitched some thin elastic along the length (like tram tracks).  With some I used similar coloured cotton and used big tacking stitches and then just pulled them up and tied knots. With the longest ones I used two 'U' shaped rows of tacking threads - one at either end. Voila - new and trendy scarves for free! I also found a couple at op shops for $2 each and did the same. Recycling in action.
