I'm making these for like, eight people this year. I'm calling them snuggle collars - they button shut to make that kind of collar, or can just be a normal scarf.

The outside is this really nice fleece, and the inside is super-plush microfiber. It's so soft. I want to make an entire bed set out of it. The brand is called "Ultra Cuddle Plush," and seriously lives up to its name.



Without folding the collar down, it's designed to cover your ears and the back of your neck. =)


Making them is fairly easy in construction, but microfiber plush SHEDS EVERYWHERE. Also, trying to sew buttonholes by hand? Not so easy, but not as bad as I'd thought. And I chose the buttons to match/compliment the fleece. Button shopping is SO MUCH FUN. ZOMG. The one above is for my hippie mother.

Anyway, I'm really happy with how it came out. I might need to make myself one.

SO. SOFT.

Those look fabulously comfy. Do you have any sort of pattern?

I kinda made it up. But I can make up a tutorial, if you want!

Given that I lack a dressmaker's dummy to drape on, a pattern/tutorial would be lovely. (Especially since I'm not the only one asking. ;)

If you do needlework, can you sew? I'll probably be making up a tutorial of some kind for [livejournal.com profile] keshwyn.

Oh, sure. Unless that's substantially more complicated than it looks, I can manage it. I need an excuse to get the sewing machine serviced, anyway.

By the way, I have a ton of extra buttons in this style: http://www.umei.com/metallic-buttons/metallic-buttons-2713.htm from a few years back when I made a Girl Genius costume. Are you interested in some? I know your predilections towards fabric crafts and steampunks.

Willing to share at low costs. I seem to recall that at the time I bought a full gross, and only used 2 or 3 dozen.
