"Funky Sweater Sleeve Neck Warmer" Sewing Project

Funky and fun, this one of a kind neck warmer adds a feminine flair while protecting your neck from frigid weather. The scarf was made from an inexpensive thrift store find. The length of sweater sleeves is just right, the cuffs are finished and it’s already knitted, saving oodles of time. The ‘flowers’ can be made from gathered scraps of lightweight sheers and are hand sewn onto the scarf. The neck warmer has an asymmetrical overlap that is held together with a piece of velcro.

Supplies:
  • Long sleeve sweater
  • Sheer fabric strips or 1 ½ - 2” wide silk ribbon
  • Small piece of velcro or oversized snap
  • Green felt for ‘leaves’
  • Polyfill
Directions:
  1. Cut the sleeves off the sweater just below the seam









  2. Even the top part of the cut edge by cutting it in an arc










  3. Turn the sleeve inside out and sew the rounded edge closed









  4. Turn right side out and hand stitch the two sleeves together at the narrower cuff end








  5. Hand or machine gather several strips of sheer folded 3-4” wide fabric strips








  6. Roll and stitch gathered end into ‘flowers’











  7. Place and pin flowers to the neck warmer where you want them
  8. Draw eight 1-2” leaves on the green felt
  9. Stitch the sides only. Cut the leaves out close to the stitching line




  10. Stuff with a small amount of polyfill










  11. Zigzag the leaves closed and hand stitch on to the scarf so that they’re peeking out from under the flowers
  12. Add the Velcro closure or a heavy duty coat snap.
    It's that easy!
