Fleece Pillow

I still had more fleece remnants left and was looking for something to turn it into. I decided I would do a no-sew pillow. It's a throw pillow and is crazy easy to make. All I did was cut two same size squares of fabric. Then I cut the fabric about an inch in from each side, making a cut about every 1/2 inch or so. Then I tied the cuts in knots. I did this on each side. Once I got to the last three cuts, I left them untied so I could put the stuffing in. Once I got all the stuffing in I tied up the last three cuts. And wala I had a pillow. It is really soft and comfy too! :)

Pajama Pants

I bought a pajama pattern in my son's size awhile back. I have never sewn anything using a pattern before. It was pretty interesting to say the least. The pants pattern took me forever to even see how in the world it was going to turn into pants. Reading the pattern was much more complicated than I imagined it would be. It took me the longest time to figure out how to sew the crotch inseam. I seriously sewed and unstitched it four times. I worked on this part for probably an hour. Once I finally figured out how to do it, all I could think was I can't believe this is all I had to do this whole time! So my first attempt at pants took a lot longer than I expected it to but I did get them finished. They were a little baggy but I did make them a size up from what he's wearing now. He wore them to bed last night and they were still intact this morning so I will consider that a success! (The green ones)

We went to Hobby Lobby last night and in the remnant section they had a really cute fabric(the tan animal print) that just happened to be the exact amount I needed to make his pants. So I bought it and I made pants out of it tonight. This time I knew what I was doing and I had a complete pair of pants in about 30 minutes or so. I also made these a little smaller since the others were baggy. I think I understand the pattern reading a little better now so maybe I can start using them without getting upset!

Fleece Scarves

I bought a lot of fleece remnants a little while back. They were super cheap, I think I paid maybe $1.50 for each piece. I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with them. Today I decided I would turn them into scarves. I made two different types. They were both really easy to make and to complete both of them it took me about 30 minutes.

The one in the top picture I just cut 2 pieces that are about 4 inches wide across the length of the fabric which I think was about 60". Then I took those pieces and sewed the ends together so I had a super long piece of fleece. Then I sewed it down the middle bunching the fabric up as I went down. Some of the spots got skipped so I had to go back and sew the bunching down. Once I got the bunching figured out it was easy to do. It turned out ruffled and when I put it on, it twisted down the length of it which is really cute.

The one in the second picture is a fringe scarf. This one I cut two pieces of fabric that were the same length and width. Then I sewed the pieces together, straight down the middle. After I had the middle seam, I sewed another seem on each side of the middle seam. So then I had three seams running the length of the scarf. Then I took my scissors and cut down each side about every 1/2 inch. This made the fringe. This one looks really full and cute on. The fringe gives it a neat texture. In all this one took less than 10 minutes to make. It was so easy!
