For those of you who are fresh out of ideas for your basket donation, or for those of you who have some time to spare, but not much cash to spare.....
Take advantage of the current 50% off fleece sale at Joann's or look for fleece remnants you have around the house, and make some scarves to include in the cash and carry scarf portion of the basket auction.
This is soooo super easy, takes hardly any time and you only need 1-1/2 ft to 2 ft of fleece to make one scarf. I bet that these will be HOT sellers next week!
Want to know more? Here are the super easy instructions.....
Sewing supplies:
Sewing Machine or good needle and thread
(3) 6" X 60" wide strips of Fleece (could be the same color or different!)
Ruler
Scissors (or Rotary Cutting Mat and 60 mm Rotary Cutter)
1. Lay the strips one on top of the other, pin.
2. Select the Reinforced Straight Stitch or triple stitch on your machine
3. Stitch down the center of the scarf lengthwise
4. Place the stitched scarf on a table or rotary cutting mat
5. Place the ruler on top of the scarf
6. Cut starting 1/4 - 1/2" from the stitching, to the edge
7. Repeat the full length of the scarf, spacing the cuts 1/2" - 1" apart
8. Repeat on the other side of the scarf as shown.
9. Wash and dry, to fluff it nicely, and snuggle in to enjoy!
Variation
Instead of using 3 long strips, start with (2) 12" x 60" strips of fleece. Folding each strip (one at a time) in half lengthwise, sew a straight line down the length of each strip. You will be left with two long "sleeves". Turn each inside out, and place seams together, pinning down length. This will result in two "loops" laying flat on top of each other. Sew a straight line down the length, joing the two pieces (or four layers) together. Continue main instructions at step 4 above.
