a hat and scarf from a sweater - a refashion do!

By Barbara Schwenk on 11.20.2009

a hat and scarf from a sweater - a refashion do!

Through my oddly addicting habit of snooping blog surfing I came across an interesting site called Ruffles and Stuff that absolutely called out to me to stop and take a look.

And I am so glad I did.  Disney (yes, that’s her name) is a christian wife and mother and extremely talented.  I reached out to her (there quite possibly could have been some begging going on - I admit to nothing) and she agreed to share some of her craft ideas with us!  Below is the first of many (I hope)  posts from Disney. 

alt textI got this sweater vest at the Dollar Store and I just knew it was dying to be a little beanie and scarf set! This would actually work best with a sleeved sweater (then you could just use sleeves for a scarf!), but this is what I had, so…

alt text

1) Measure your child’s head, and cut out a hat shape through both layers (I free-handed this, but if you had another beanie to trace around, that would be great!), then cut a large rectangle shape through both layers for the scarf.

2) Lay the two scarf pieces right side together and pin the non-banded end. Sew with a zig-zag stitch, being careful not to let it stretch too much.

3) Cut out your “face” shapes from felt or fleece. 4 ears, two big circles for eyes, and two slightly smaller circles for the pupils, and a little triangle nose.

4) Lay two of the ear shapes on top of the other two, and sew around the edges with your machine. (not pictured)

5) Pin the ears to the right side of the beanie, facing downward. Lay the other piece of the beanie on top of it(right sides together), with ears sandwiched in between, and pin.

6) Sew the two hat pieces together, leaving the banded side open.
alt text

 


7) Take your scarf piece and fold it over, right sides together, and pin. Sew all the way down the side.
alt text

 

 

8)Turn the scarf right side out, and sew the banded edges closed.
alt text

 

 


9) Pin the face shaped where you want them, and hand stitch them on.

Ta-da!

 

 

Want to see what else this talented wife and mom has up her sleeve?  Then pop on over to her shop at Etsy - I promise you won’t be disappointed!
