No Sew Fleece Scarf

No Sew Fleece Scarf

Materials needed:60 inch wide fleece, Scissors

Step 1: Start by laying your fabric out just as it came off the bolt- folded so it is 30 inches wide from the fold to the open side. It isn't necessary, but you can now cut off the finished edge if you prefer (it usually looks like it is folded up and pressed).

Step 2: Measure along the folded edge and make a small cut (you can also mark it with a marking pencil instead of cutting) every 6 inches (you'll get about 6 from each yard this way). Repeat on the open side so the cuts or marks will line up with each other.

Step 3: Cut a straight line from the mark on the folded side to the mark on the open side to make one long strip that is 6 inches wide.

Step 4: To make fringe on the ends of your scarf, make 5 cuts about 1.25 inches apart and about 4 inches long into each end.

No Sew Fleece Blankets

Thursday 14th at 9am (this is a day activitiy) we will be learning how to make no sew blankets.

You can come and watch or bring your own fleece and make one there. See samples below to get an idea about what you would like to do.

This is a reversable one (above). If you would like to do one of these, you need 2 pieces of fleece the same size. One print and one solid. Or two prints or 2 solids. Your choice!

Here is one with a panel. You can find these.

You can also do a single patter or solid.

If you are making a baby blanket or small child a good size is 1 yard of fleece.

If you are making one for a bigger child or adult, you might want to go 2 yards or more.

Hancock fabric is having a sale on monday on fleece.

No need to bring anything else.

These make great gifts! I am going to do a Bills Football fleece for my hubby for Christmas!

Thanks to Chris Bushman for teaching the class. YOU ROCK CHRIS!
