This unique scarf tutorial is perfect when you have a weird shaped of fabric you love left! Make a quick Collar Cozy.
I love making scarves and cowls of all kinds and this newest one is perfect for using those medium size scraps that you just can’t bother throwing away. Anyone else a scrap hoarder? I try my best to use up fabric scraps but maybe I’m just a fabric addict ha.
My favorite quick and easy Big Bow Ear Warmer that I’m wearing with my collar cozy below, the gift ideas perfect for holiday gift giving. It makes for a great handmade gift!
I started off making the turban style head band but I thought it would be fun to do a two for one and share a fun neck warmer tutorial here also.
So you get two great quick gift ideas today :) And don’t forget about the giveaway at the end.
Collar Cozy Tutorial
What You Need
- Fleece 22×18 inches
- Quilting Cotton 22×18 inches
What to Do
- Cut your fabric across the diagonal. Then with right sides together sew the short edges together. Repeat for the fleece.
- Open up and put two fabrics right sides together. Sew around all the edges leaving a small hold to turn the pieces right side out.
- Turn right sides out and iron. Iron the edges at the hole under and sew closed.
- On one end add a 1 inch button hole.
- Thread the other end through the button hole and you’re good to go!
So fun right? And it’s just the right about of extra warmth without taking up too much room in your bag if you end up wanting to take it off!
