This fleece scarf is very easy to make and would be a great gift. You can make a fleece scarf from a small remnant because fleece is 60 inches wide. I got all the fleece for this scarf from a remnant bin. The vintage postcards are made using fabric paper.

Materials:

  • 10 – 12 inches of white fleece
  • small piece of pink or red fleece
  • 1 sheet of fabric paper

cut out hearts from pink or red fleece

Step 1.

Cut out six hearts for each end and six more to sew on scarf.

print out vintage post cards on fabric paper

Step 2.

I have a cd of vintage post cards that I purchased online but I have also seen vintage postcards that you can print for free online. I printed these out on fabric paper in wallet size using the photo problem that came with my computer.

Step 3.

Pin three hearts across both ends of scarf. Turn it over and pin backs on all the hearts. Stitch around edges making sure to stitch through the front and back of the hearts.

About Elaine Kazinec

I have never met anyone who can't make wonderful things for their homes, friends, and family, only those who think they can't. The purpose of this blog is to show everyone how really simple most projects for the home are to make. When my husband and I bought our first home we were short on cash so I learned to be long on creativity. I have been told that I can make something wonderful out of nothing and that is true. You can too! Some of my favorite things are items that I found in someone's junk pile. I am going to show you how easy it really is. I hope you find the courage to jump in and attempt some of these projects. You will be amazed at how talented you really are.
