Supplies

• 90/14 Stretch Needle
• Cuddle Fur Fabric Kit
• Chaco Marking Pen
• Nancy’s Favorite Scarves to Sew book by Nancy Zieman

Cutting

• Cut along the marked line, cutting only the fabric backing—not the fur. 

Note from Nancy: Cut on the marked line with the tip of the scissors, cutting only the knitted backing, not the fur. Cutting the fabric in the traditional manner leaves you with a complete mess of fur! If you happen to cut the fur, I have a solution for you—vacuum!

Faux Fur Scarf Sewing Tips

• Measure a 4″–6″ distance along the long edge. This area will remain unstitched.

• Switch your sewing machine to a 90/14 Stretch Needle.
• Match right sides, pin, and sew along the 40″ length.
• Use a 1/4″ seam allowance and do not sew the 4″–6″ marked opening.

.

• A nip marking along the fold is needed at each short end.

• Make a small snip at each marked location.

• Turn the tube right side out.

• Give the scarf a 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.

.

• Use a 1/4″ seam allowance to sew the scarf ends together.

.

• Turn the faux fur right side out through the opening.

• Use a hand sewing needle and thread to close the opening.

• Presto—a terrific scarf!
