I made this scraf to use some of my fabric scraps and I like how it turned out =)
It's a nice and quick project and I think I'll make several of those as christmas gifts this year ^^

You Will Need (2 things)

  • ~15x140cm Fleece Fabric
  • Cotton Fabric - scraps

Steps (7 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather your cotton fabrics and cut squares using a template made of paper.

    My squares measure 14x14cm, including 1cm seam allowance - I've made 11 aquares, so the finished scarf will measure 12x132cm.

  2. 2

    Sew the squares onto each other to make a long stripe (or scraf, that is ^^)

  3. 3

    Press the seam allowances like in the picture (I'd be grateful if someone could tell me the right English phrase for this ^^)

  4. 4

    Now it's time to fold the seam allowances and press them like you'd do if you made hems.

  5. 5

    Pin the scarf to the fleece, make sure it's as even as possible.

  6. 6

    Stitch the edges.

  7. 7

    Cut the fleece, leaving a small border (~5mm) around the scarf.
    Don't worry, fleece fabrics won't fray.

    And you're done!
