Miss Thrifty,
I'm going to try to make some fleece hats, scafs, and head bands. I already have the pattern and material. What am I waiting on?? I've never sewn fleece before, so I hope they will turn out.
Keep me posted! Your projects always turn out so nice.
I think I will get my stuff out tonight and cut it out at least.

Good luck to both you ladies! Post some pics of your finished products.

How wide or how many stitches do you use for a scarf?Everytime I try to make one its either too narrow or way to wide

I got a couple of kits on a big clearance at JoAnns Fabrics a month or two ago for no sew fleece scarves. I don't really know how to sew. I'd love to see some pictures of the finished projects. I've also started some no sew fleece throws, but I'm slow right now so I haven't gotten very far with them.

I need a good fall project, I have lots of those fleece throws I could transform one or two (my mom seems to buy me and my husband one each christmas). You have me thinking! Yes, please post pics...when done.

I've made 1 fleece headband and scarf so far. They are very easy to do. I was worried about sewing with fleece, but I didn't have any problems. I wish I knew how to download a picture so everyone could see. I have a Kodak EasyShare C310 if anyone knows how, please share with me. Thanks.
I'm going to buy more fleece tomorrow while I'm in town.

lilk ur camera should of come with a cd to download the program to the puter to send the pics.
do u have a USB cable that came with the camera to hook to the puter, then to the camera? or do u have the slots in front of your puter to put the scan disk card into like mine? there a pic in the gallery of the slots infront of my puter.

**lilk** · 10-22-2006, 02:36 AM

Miss Thrifty, I have the USB cable. I have the cd downloaded on the computer. I suppose if I read the directions it would tell me what to do next. I will try to get to this soon.
