Faux Fur Infinity Scarf Supplies
- 2/3 yd. Faux Fur Fabric or Repurposed Faux Fur Cape/Coat
- Clover’s Pen Style Chaco Liner
- Clover’s Flower Head Pins
- Clover’s 6-3/4″ Bordeaux Ultimate Scissors
- Clover’s 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge
- Schmetz 90/14 Stretch Needle

Cutting
- Measure and cut a faux fur rectangle measuring 24″ x 40″.
- On fabric wrong side, mark cutting lines with Clover’s Chaco Liner.
- Using a 6-3/4″ Bordeaux Ultimate Scissors cut along marked lines, cutting only the fabric backing—not the fur.
Cut on marked lines with the tip of the scissors, cutting only the backing, not the fur. Cutting faux fur in the traditional manner leaves you with a complete mess of fur! If you happen to cut the fur, simply use a vacuum with hose attachment to help with the clean up!
Faux Fur Scarf Sewing Tips
- Using a 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge and Clover’s Chaco Liner, measure and mark a 4″–6″ distance along one long fabric edge. Mark the 4″–6″ distance at about 6-8″ from one end. This area will later remain unstitched.
- Place faux fur right sides together, matching long 40″ edges. Pin.
- Using a Schmetz 90/14 Stretch Needle and 1/4″ seam allowance, stitch the long 40″ seam, backstitching on each side of the 4″-6″ opening.
Be sure to leave the 4″–6″ marked opening unstitched! This is a no-sew zone!
- Stitching the long 40″ seam, creates a faux fur fabric tube.
- Using Clover’s Chaco Liner, place a mark on fabric wrong side – marking the fold line at one short end. Repeat marking the fold line at opposite short end.
- Using a 6-3/4″ Bordeaux Ultimate Scissors, make a small 1/4″ snip/clip at each marked line.
- Through the seam opening, turn the long tube end right side out.
- Give the scarf a half-twist while folding the tube onto itself, matching right sides of the short ends.
- Align opposing seams and snips at the end to maintain the twist. Pin seam with long Flower Head Pins.
- Sew scarf ends together, using 1/” Seam.
- Turn the faux fur scarf – right side out – through the opening.
- Stitch seam opening closed with a hand sewing needle and thread and optional thimbles.
- Our Fabulous Faux Fur Infinity Scarf is complete!

This winter I am trying to finish some UFO’s but also learning new sewing/quilting skills. I’ve been mostly quilting- making quilts, table-runners, table-toppers. Just finished a rag-quilt for an EZ project but also doing some more complicated blocks for other quilts.

I bought several inexpensive masks for my 8 year old to make mask wearing more fun. I wasn’t satisfied because they were only a single thickness of fabric, so I have been hand sewing another layer or two onto the backs of them using some of my stash.

The kids needed new Christmas stockings and those were fun to make. I used fabric I bought from Nancy’s Notions a long tome ago and used metallic thread to personalize them. Now I am working on home decor…tissue box covers and dish towels.

Sewing a dress that was a UFO from some years ago. Discovered it on a fabric hunt and took the cut garment pieces out of its bag & decided that it was a perfect project to start the new year.
