Foulard de la semaine



Une surprise pour vous!

This is my first attempt at creating a video tutorial, comment plier un foulard.  Both of these ties I use freqently with my longer scarves, as they're easy, look great, stay in place, and aren't constricting around the neck.

Oui, the video's a bit rough around the edges, and I'm hoping that with time and practice my video skills will improve; still it was great fun to put together!

  2. This was wonderful!! I love your scarf ties, and this was absolutely the best way to learn how to actually do them. I ran, got my longest scarf and practiced while watching the video. More please!

  3. Super! Didn't know about either the tuck (first scarf) or the twist (second scarf). Accordian music is a great way to begin a chilly Friday. Merci!

  6. Even better is to watch the smile on your face after completing each look. Ta-dah!!! Love the leopard!

    I've linked to you today so I think you will be wowing a lot of us.

  9. Fabulous tutorial. I clicked over from Tish's blog to see how to tie my scarf properly. Thank you so much. I hope you'll do this again with other size scarves. We all want to look fabulously French.

    Merci beaucoup,
    Sam

  11. Such fun! I needed this yesterday, I tried to wear a scarf but ended up ripping it off because I had no idea how to tie it and look chic.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Impressive!
    I am going to link this in my blog!

  13. Aren't you adorable (in a chic way!) on film. That smile of yours is very contagious.

    [Though in motion vs photo you remind me of someone and I can't think who, ha.]

    The ties you demonstrated are already in my VERY limited "scarf vocab," so I hope this is the start of many more to come...from your photos I know you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve.

  14. Charmante! That second tie is an old favorite of mine, and I'm going to practice with the first... it looks like it might be a bit cooler for indoor wear.

  20. It was great to see you " in action ". Is your hair a bit darker now, or was it only my lap/eyes?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Merci beaucoup! I now have two fantastic new ways to wear my scarves thanks to you and your delightful tutorial.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Excellent job! I particularly liked the little twist at the end of the second one...I thought you were just going for the standard slip-ends-through-loop, but voila! I also like your vintage travel poster in the background. I have several (all French locations, as it happens) in my house!

  23. The video made me smile...cute presentation! And I learned something to boot! Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Adorable, and so cheerful! The steps are very clear. Great job!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Two thumbs up! What fun, and leopard print to boot, thank you!

    Ps Verification word is "anglo"- bof!

  28. Ok, I just went and tried the second technique (and I just happen to have a long leopard print scarf!) It looks great, such a simple "twist"---pun intended---but looks quite a lot better than just looping the ends through, which is what I've always done. Thanks, Pseu!

  29. Miss J LOVES this tutorial, Miss Pseu. Well-played, Madame!

  31. Super cute! And I love your hair - is it a new style?

    ReplyDelete
  32. WONDERFUL!!!
    Thank you for showing me some new ways to tie my scarf.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Fabulous! The second one I picked up from Imogen a while back and it is my absolutely favourite. I was hoping we'd hear your voice - I love finding out what people sound like ...

    ReplyDelete
  34. That is wildly adorable and the music trop mignon! Also your hair looks great - did you change the color?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Mille mercis everyone for your kind comments! I'm glad this is helpful and...

    1. Yes, I plan to do more of these, hopefully one every week or two with a variety of scarf shapes and sizes, until I run out of ideas.

    2. Yes, my hair is darker. I'd felt that the strawberry blond color was just too light and washing me out, so I've gone with a color that's a slightly warmer version of my natural color (minus the grey), and I'm quite happy with it. I desparately need a haircut right now, which I'll be getting on Sunday. No radical changes, just tweaking the current style, which I'm also mostly happy with.

    3. I initially tried recording my voice, but in having to stand back from the computer far enough to get capture the entire "field of operation," the mic wasn't picking up my voice well, and the result was echo-y and not very clear.

    Thanks again, you are all too kind!

  39. Merci!

    I'm going to try both ways this week--after a frustrating summer of experimenting.

  43. I used the ideas from your tutorial to tie my long multicolored silk scarf today, and the process was a big hit with me! I believe that new ideas are "mood elevators."
