Questions and Answers

Is there any way to make those old square scarves look fashionable?

You can fold it into two, into a triangle. Then roll it in a random way and tie both ends together. Put it around your neck, the same that you would do for a necklace. Pull out some part to make it more flowing and appear more random.

You can also use them as a nice headband or head scarf. Just fold them again into a triangle and know both ends at the back of your neck.

Sewing square scarf into rectangular scarf?

There are various ways of doing this. One of the ways would be to fold the ends of the square in such manner that it looks like a rectangular and then, sew the folds. The other way out is to cut 2 of the equal sides of the square in such manner that they are equal to each other but not equal to the other 2 sides. Fold the cut off sides a bit and sew them as well.
