Two-Layer Turtleneck Scarf Sewing Tutorial by Nancy Zieman Productions

Approximate Finished Size 9-1/2″ Wide x 8-1/2 Long.

The NZP Team is designing projects and patterns to be sewn with Nancy Zieman’s innovative sewing techniques. Within each of our blog sewing tutorial and patterns, we give you construction tips and specific sewing hints, along with tool tips to make sewing fun and enjoyable – even for beginners. You’ll find that in a matter of minutes, you can sew fashion accessories – like our favorite Turtle Neck Scarf!

Choose Your Turtleneck Scarf Size

Using a tape measure, measure forehead circumference – just above eyebrows: If forehead circumference measures 20-1/2″- 21-1/2″ make a size Small/Medium Turtleneck Scarf. If forehead circumference measures 21-1/2″-22-1/2″ make a size Medium/Large Turtleneck Scarf. We’re making a size Small/Medium Turtleneck Scarf in this sewing tutorial.

Prepare & Cut Fabric

Prepare your fabrics! Pre-treat fabric by steaming and pressing, then, stabilize fabrics for the sewing process by pressing and starching fabrics with June Tailor’s Quilters Starch Savvy. Press and starch, press and starch.

• Cut One Fabric Rectangle 18″ long by 21″ wide for size Small/Medium. Be sure to cut the fabric rectangle with the greatest fabric stretch across the 21″ width. (For Size XS/Small cut one fabric rectangle 18″ long by 20″ wide. For size Medium/Large, cut one fabric rectangle 18″ long by 23″ wide: for a 10-1/2″ wide x 8-1/2 long finished scarf).
• NOTE: Deanna, from Team NZP, stitched a Turtleneck Scarf for her husband – with One Fabric Rectangle measuring 22-1/2″ long by 23-1/2″ wide – cut from 5/8 yd Stretch Jersey Knit Fabric. Or, you may be the designer and choose your own custom fabric rectangle size!

Stitch Turtleneck Scarf

• Fold fabric rectangle, right sides together, meeting 21″ long edges. Pin.

Our Turtleneck Scarf is the perfect project to stitch with a serger overlock stitch! Place pins parallel to cut edges – when stitching with a serger.

• Insert a new Schmetz Size 80/12 Jersey Chrome Sewing Machine Needle, and stitch seam with sewing machine set for a zig-zag wobble stitch, or stitch with an overlock stitch on a serger. Press seam flat, then press open or press to one side.

• Turn Scarf right side out through seam opening.

Before moving on to the finishing step, go ahead and try on your Turtleneck Scarf-in-process. Slip scarf over head and check for your desired fit. If scarf is too loose, turn inside out and restitch seam (above) taking a deeper seam allowance.

• Stitch opening closed with zigzag stitch or hand stitching.
