I made a scarf as Christmas present. I used blue cotton fabric which I printed with blue fabric paint and my Indian wood block print stamps.
I used blue cotton crochet thread and this pattern for the crochet lace. I attached the crochet lace with white crochet thread and buttonhole stitches.

The scarf also has two crochet lace insertions.
To make the crinkle pleats, I sprayed the fabric with water, pleated the fabric with my fingers, and ironed it dry.
