New Penelope Red Scarf Design: Chinese Flowers

I have posted a new scarf design in my Etsy shop. The Penelope Red Chinese Flowers scarf has been made from various beautiful fabrics, including silk, cotton, and linen blends.


I love mixing colours, textures and prints together, in unusual combinations- my friend's say it is my trademark. Making these scarves gives me the opportunity to play around with this even more.


I usually use one of the fabrics in the scarf to inspire the rest. So, for instance, in this scarf, I used the red Chinese-style printed cotton, to help determine the other fabrics and colours to use. The print has beige, cream and blue included in it.



A few other scarf designs can be seen here.

All Penelope Red scarves are one-of-a-kind. No scarf is exactly the same as the next.

Penelope Red Handmade Scarves

A scarf can truly make any outfit become something more, instantly. A scarf can take a simple top and jeans, and make it a sophisticated, elegant outfit.

Pictured above is the Penelope Red Deco Scarf.

I love making my Penelope Red scarves too. It is a chance for me to play around with colours, fabrics and textures, and create unexpected little treasures! Whenever I cut out a garment from an exquisite fabric, I keep a lot of the small pieces, so when I am next inspired to create my scarves, I have a treasure trove of pieces to use.


Each Penelope Red scarf is completely different to the next, and selecting the fabrics is the most time consuming part, but also the most fun! It is amazing how each scarf can look so different to the next, and it becomes really hard to detach myself from them, and sell them, because I end up in loving too many of them, much too often!


I have been really lucky to see my scarves being sent to quite a few countries, including Canada, America, Russia and Austria. It is exciting to know that a little piece of my creativity is on the other side of the world!

Below, I have posted a few previous designs of my scarves. The fabrics in each of these scarves varies from scarf to scarf. This is just a small selection of the many scarves I have made, and there will be more new designs coming soon to my Etsy store.
