Fall is here so it might be time for a Cowl/Tube Scarf Sewing Project!
Hi There Fabricworms!
Fall is upon us and the chills are breezing through our studio! So for a little lunch break pick me up, our very own Fabricworm Staffer Bre, came up with this super quick and easy Tube Scarf! It literally takes 10-15 minutes to cut out and sew together. And it only takes a yard of fabric! These are the kind of projects we love. Cute, simple, fast, and ready to wear now!
Here’s Bre modeling her own creation. She used Anna Maria Horner Little Folks Village Path Sea Voile and Anna Maria Horner Forest Hills Moonlight Flannel.
I can’t wait to make one in Anna Maria Horner’s new Innocent Crush Voile. I want to make one for me in this:
And one for my husband in completely this:
Of course these are the Anna Maria Horner Innocent Crush Voiles, so you'll have to wait a bit longer for these!
Here’s how we made it.
You need a ½ yard of each print.
1. Cut your half yards into quarter yards (9”x44”).
2. Sew your shell fabric together at the short ends making one long piece (about 9”x88”). Do this again with your lining fabric.
3. Sew your two long pieces together, right sides facing eachother, leaving the short sides open on each side.
4. Turn right side out.
5. Press.
6. Slip one open end of the scarf into the other open end about 1 inch (this will make the scarf into a loop). Tuck the outer raw edge under a ½ inch and pin in place.
7. Finally, top stitch your tube scarf shut. Voila!
This scarf would make fabulous Christmas presents for all your friends!
Yours In Sewing,
Andrea

Linus, The Fabricworm Mascot, is offering up his favorite set of Scraps to a lucky winner!
While deciding one day that our Mascot Linus needed his own pretty set of fabrics to perch upon,
I went straight to my home stash and picked out a bundle of some of my all time favorites!
I've decided now that Linus is ready for a new stack of inspiration, and thought how fun it would
be to share Linus' favorites with 1 lucky reader!
We will be picking a winner through Random Integers on Tuesday 9/7 at 9am PST
To enter simply name a theme in which you'd love to see made into a collection of fabrics!
