Glam it up a bit ladies, you only live once! (depending on your height, you may want to adjust the length.)

Hi Cheryll, Take Care of Your Skin and Stay Comfortable Regardless of the Weather Scarves, shawls and wraps have become my favorite accessories - use in the day to hide from sun-rays, stay warm at night, and enjoy sleeveless dresses without squirming that my arms aren’t their 20 year old selves... An oversized linen shawl can multitask along with me and the ever-changing temperatures. Oversized Linen Shawl - Your Around the Clock Comfort!   A neutral and light accessory that can fit in the purse should it not be needed. But, is right at the fingertips to be wrapped around for warmth or to hide from the strong sunshine rays.   Something that is low maintenance and can be washed at home in the washing machine - I like my free time spent not running errands to the dry cleaners   An exquisite looking item - comparable to brand names that are selling their shawls as I type this for $168 (and theirs don’t even have tassels!) 2 Yards and about an hour of sewing will make 2 Shawls   ( so think of who you can gift one to - the shawls turns out pretty amazing). Here are the steps to gift yourself (and a lucky friend) - sun protection, warmth, and convenience - aka - a linen shawl! 1. Pick your color scheme - 2 yards  of the color you like - I went with Fog (picking your color we need to save for last so I can show you the steps to make the shawl :)   2. Receive the box - we ship your order either same day or the following morning   3. Find the middle of the width (I folded the cloth in half - selvage to selvage) and pull a thread down the middle of the entire length 4. Cut down the middle where you pulled the thread and cut off the selvage 5. We need to hem the length of the cloth - fold under 0.25 inches 2 times and stitch 6. Unravel the raw edges to make the tassels ( you can also leave it as just fringed without the tassels) 7. Take 10-15 loose threads and bunch them up like a ponytail. Use the nearest thread to loop around the “ponytail” and tie a knot. Do 2 knots on each ponytail/tassel. 8. Tassel both sides of the shawl 9. Throw in the wash - gentle cycle - cold water. Dry on a delicate cycle with low heat ( iron should you like - the left one is not ironed and right one was pressed) 10. Your shawl is ready to be worn and face the day with you
