Guest Blogger: Erin from In Between Laundry

Hi! I'm Erin
from

In Between
Laundry

and I'm just about as pleased as punch to visit with you girls today!

That's me with my husband and our two stinks-- 3-1/2 and 7 months.

In Between
Laundry

is all about

do-able crafts, great recipes,

ideas, and kid stuff, topped off with a healthy
dose of our

Ca-Razy home

renovation. We are gutting this joint, I tell you.

Here are a few of my recent projects.

Basically, I'd do a back flip if you stopped by.

{Big hugs to Linda for having me.}

Today, I'm sharing

The Layered Fleece Scarf

You can't get much simpler-- or cuter-- than
this!

Materials for a
Preschool-Size Scarf:

7" x 35" piece of fleece (bottom layer)

5-1/2" x 35" piece of fleece (top layer)
35" piece of 1-1/2" ribbon

35" piece of 3/4" ribbon

5 buttons

thread for machine sewing

needle and thread for hand-sewing the buttons in place

1. Place the fleece pieces together, then lay the 1-1/2" ribbon on top, down the
middle.

2. Pin in place.

TIP: Use a
lighter to seal the edges of your ribbons first so they will never fray.

3. Stitch very closely along both edges using your sewing machine.

4. Pin the smaller ribbon on top and stitch along both sides, very close to the
edges.

5. Hand stitch your buttons along the top of the ribbons.

6. Cut slits in the top layer of fleece that are about 1-1/4" in width.

I call it the DINO scarf
around here and The Little just
laughs and laughs!
