- Scarf: Using your OLFA rotary cutter with pinking blade and 6" x 24" ruler, cut 12-8" tall triangles - 4 triangles of each color of fleece.
- Cut one rectangle 8" x 60" for back of scarf.
- Spray back of scarf with temporary spray adhesive, on the wrong side, and lay triangles in pattern as shown in photograph. Cut one triangle in half and place one half at each end of scarf.
- Using a scallop stitch and heavy weight thread on your sewing machine, stitch completely around outside edge of scarf. Place water soluble stabilizer on top of fleece, under presser foot, to keep stitches from sinking into fleece and dissapearing. You may also use 2 strands of regular thread in place of the 12 wt. thread.
- Next, stitch around the inside of each triangle with the scallop stitch.
- To remove stabilizer, simply rise scarf in warm water and let dry.
- Mittens: To make mitten pattern, trace around the perimeter of your hand, keeping fingers together and thumb extended.
- Cut out 4 mitten halves using your OLFA rotary cutter and pinking blade.
- On mitten fronts, stitch 3 rows of decorative scallop stitches at the wrist. Place water soluble stabilizer on top of fleece to prevent stitches from dissapearing.
- Sew mitten front to back, wrong sides together, using a 1/4" seam allowance.
