Ever So Warm, and
Attractive, Woolen Scarf (for men or women)
With Christmas just
around the corner in our real world, and in Celeste's fictional world
it's a great idea to start considering what presents you are giving
this year. In Celeste's world she owns and operates a Sewing
Shop, LePetit. She is extremely creative but limited in cash.
So she decides to make the presents for her family this year.
The following is a pattern for a woolen flannel scarf.
MATERIALS NEEDED
- 1 yard of woolen flannel (plaid or plain, either is nice)
1 box of straight pins
1 needle (I prefer them with larger eyes, easier to thread)
1 spool of thread to match or contrast with the fabric
Cut
two long rectangular pieces of fabric. They need to be slighter
wider than you would like a scarf to make room for the side seams.
It is helpful to measure it to the person that you are giving it to.
If it is made to be a surprise you will have to use your own neck for
measurement and then add several inches of fabric for a very large
man. Put right sides together and machine stitch all the way around
the long rectangle until you come to the very end. Stop sewing about
4 inches from the end of the fabric. Lay the seams flat and press
along the seam to open it. You have to be very careful with the iron
temperature...too hot and it will singe the fabric...too cold and it
won't open the seam. It's helpful to use a press cloth, clean dish
towel or pillowcase. Moisten that towel just enough to cause the
iron to steam the seam. Pull the finished scarf through the opening.
You may want to press the seams again if they did not open well to
lay flat. Last of all tuck the ends of the opening in and blind
stitch that fabric to finish the project. Voila! A warm, attractive
scarf for a chilly day!
