infinity scarves
Right before Christmas I thought it would be nice to sew up some infinity scarves for my sisters and nieces to hand out while we were visiting in Utah. I have 4 sisters plus both of my brothers are married and I have 2 nieces, plus of course I had to make one for my daughter and myself and my Mom, so I this was a little bit of a task. I used this tutorial (which was great!) and there is also a tutorial for kids scarves (though I found that I needed to make the scarves about 8" longer for my 6 year old daughter and 8 year old niece).
It would have been a great idea to get a photo of everyone wearing their scarves, but of course I forgot. So you are going to have to settle for this 22 weeks pregnant selfie I took in the mirror this morning. I made all of the adult scarves with Mammoth Flannel and it is amazing! If you are looking for a really great flannel, I recommend this print in particular.
I also talked my kids into letting me take a photo of them wearing the scarves. Note: adult sized scarves look ridiculous on children.
For the kids I used an Ann Kelle Cool Cords print. It is nice and fuzzy without being as heavy as flannel, which I think worked better for little girls. Also, it is super cute. My daughter has worn hers to school a few times even though it is 75 degrees outside (yes, she is wearing long sleeves, a scarf, and shorts in this photo).

This was the first time I have really made an effort to make handmade gifts and I really enjoyed that and this was a quick and non-stressful project and that the Mammoth flannel was incredible and my sisters (who all live in cold climates) all loved them.
What a great idea! Your scarves turned out awesome. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFun gift idea indeed. And btw, you are looking mighty cute there! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the scarves! Good idea to use corduroy - I always love the cute corduroy prints but never know what to do with them!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute. It would have been great to see the whole family.
ReplyDeleteThat Mammoth flannel is the best, I'm using it on the back of my up cycled blue jeans rag quilt. Your scarves look really nice, thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! and the kids version...too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely need a plaid flannel scarf now!
They turned out great Erica! It makes me so happy when I see that people make handmade gifts using my tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing pics of your beautiful family and for linking back to Sew Creative.
