Description

I made a bunch to give as Christmas gifts but only took pictures of this one. I don't know if it really takes 45 minutes, I haven't timed it.

Instructions

  1. Small dscn0426 1294785774

    If you don't have a flower template to trace, draw one on cardboard or paper and cut it out. It should look like this. It is 3 inches from the center to the tip of a flower.

  2. Decide how big you want your scarf to be. Use your tailor's chalk or disapearing marker to mark it on the fleece, then cut it out.

  3. Small dscn0427 1294785906

    Lay your template on the other piece of fleece and trace it with your marker or chalk.

  4. Small dscn0428 1294786007

    Now cut on your lines. It should look like this. Don't worry if it's not perfect, it will still look just fine.

  5. Keep tracing and cutting until you have ten flowers.

  6. Small dscn0429 1294786134

    Lay two flowers on top of each other like this.

  7. Small dscn0431 1294786674

    Sew them on the scarf with stiches in the center as shown. Hold it up to see if you like it floppy. If you do skip the next step. sew each petal down as shown.

  8. Small dscn0432 1294786863

    Now sew down all the petals as shown if you don't want your flowers floppy.

  9. Small dscn0436 1294787059

    Repeat steps 6 through 8 until there are three flowers on this end of your scarf.

  10. Small dscn0437 1294787224

    Turn it around and sew two more on this side.

  11. Now you are finished! You can experiment with different fabrics, flower amounts, flower shapes, and different sewing techniques to make your own unique scarves.
