Spread the cashmere with face up to silk face down on top of it, now, spread the cotton batting over the silk and pin all the three fabrics together.
- Sew around three sides, leaving behind one short end open and then clip the corners, and turn right-side out. Press the seams flat and press in the open end's seam 1/2 inch.
- From the sewed end of the scarf, mark a 3-inch-long line, centered and about 5 inches in from the end to serve as the scarf's buttonhole. Use a tight zigzag stitch and sew along one side of the line.
- Once you reach the end, keep the needle inserted in the fabric, lift the foot and turn the fabric. Start your stitching again so that it overlaps the line sewn and sew along the other side of the line. Overlap your stitches again at the end of the line.
- Finally use scissors to cut down the center of the buttonhole and create the opening. Hand-sew the open end shut.
- And your Paisley scarf is ready.
