Gather up your materials...I chose this Tee Juice Marker Tattoo Set, any fabric markers or sharpie permanent markers would work.
Figure out how long you would like the scarf to be, and prepare a rectangle of muslin to that measurement. Iron the fabric as smooth as possible to make a flat surface for drawing.
Space out the drawings or transfers in the placement you prefer. I placed one design near each end of the scarf, and two flame designs centered in the middle.
Add your favorite song lyrics. For a more graffiti look, layer the text so it overlaps in different directions. You could use bubble lettering, cursive or calligraphy style letters for distinctive looks.
Heat set the marker by ironing on the setting specified for the fabric. Then fuse the muslin to the fusible fleece to prepare for sewing. Sew around the edges with a zig zag stitch.
Lay the backing fabric face down, and put the muslin piece face up so that wrong sides are together. Pin around the edges to hold the layers in place.
Using a decorative stitch and a 1/2 inch seam allowance sew along the edges of the muslin piece.
Use pinking shears to trim the edges, adding a decorative edging to the scarf.
As a final step, quilt the scarf as desired.
