| Sharon, this summer when you were in Minnesota you told me now you made your neck warmers. A tube and a twist, as I recall. Can you tell me what size fabric you cut and give me a short tutorial, please? I have some leftover Minky that would make great ones I think. Or do think Minky would be too heavy? Thanks. Lois |

Hi Lois, Don't even think I've forgotten all that fleece you kept finding for me to buy! LOL Wasn't it fun?
I've never used Minky so can't give advice on that.
----------------------- Cut one strip of fabric across the full 60" width and at least 12" wide.......as you know, I used fleece. Fold fabric in half, with RIGHT sides of fabric facing each other and matching long cut edges. Pin together.
Beginning 3" from one end, stitch long edge in a half inch seam. Stop stitching 3" from other end. Turn scarf RIGHT side out.
Open short ends of scarf.
Twist scarf 4 times (more if very lightweight fabric) - I twist no more than 2 if the fleece is heavy--sg
Place short ends with RIGHT sides together, lining up cut edges. Pin together.
Stitch short edges together in a half inch seam.
Turn scarf so that seam allowances roll to the inside.
Slip stitch opening closed.
Place the circle over head, twist and put over head again.
-----------------------------
Let me know if you have any questions. |

| Thanks so much, Sharon. It's always fun to shop with someone else's money. I have three pieces that are 60" by 11". Do you think that those will work? They are for little girls. |

| I'm sure it'll be fine. Their little necks are probably not that long so wouldn't need the extra width. Give a picture when you can. :-) |

| And us lazy people cut the 12" strip of fleece, trim the two short ends with a wavy ruler and call it a scarf. LOL |

| TG/Linda, People living in your area don't get out in below zero temps with gusting wind chasing the goats around the back forty so have no need of a heavy circle of fleece wrapped around their necks. But, if you aren't going to sew it, that is a good idea. Could even use the wavy blade. (make sure you don't take a breath during that first sentence.....lol) SharonG/FL |
