Christmas gifts: Snuggle collars!

[hazliya]

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.

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.
