I have made a couple of these and wanted to give a tip. WalMart has some fleece blankets on sale for $2.88, and they are 50 x 60! So you can get 10 5inch strips from each blanket. They are a thinner fleece so three layers easily went through my machine. I would probably do 6 inch strips though, since it is a lighter fabric. :)

[...] a service project. Kathryn, my Jr. Leader, did an excellent job teaching the girls to make a great, easy fleece scarf. The girls were able to learn/practice using mats and rotary cutters and sewing machines. [...]

I’m not sure. It’s worked well with my machine, but I know all machines are different. You can do it with two pieces first, then try to add the third to it after the first two are sewn. Make sure you’re not going to harm your machine, I wouldn’t want this project to break anything.

You can also look for a thinner fleece. There are different types of fleece out there. Micro fleece is often thinner.

My daughter got a sewing machine for Christmas and we came across making scarves out of fleece. We cut our three pieces of fleece and when we attempted to sewing the three down the middle, the machine had problems – we tried changing the tension but still the machine would stitch a few then a long gap and the stitch a few. Is there a recommendation you can share regarding setting the machine to sew easier with fleece?

I had planned on making these for the hockey moms on our team. One lady said she had tried it and had trouble sewing through 3 layers of fleece so gave up. Is there a trick to it?

This happened to me. I had a 3 layer scarf. I went through and re cut the fringe so they were half as wide. I made one thiner, about 1/6th of a ward wide and I felt it was fluffier.

I spent around $4.50 for a 3 layer scarf.

here in AZ. It is 10-12 dollars a yard at Jo Anns. They are often on sale for $7 a yard. Some Walmarts cary fabric and it is around the $7 price range there.

I made one for my bothmy 3 year old & 9 year old neice. They both love it! For the 9 year old. I made it as shown. For the 3 year old, I went smaller. I used 1/3 of a yard of fabric (cost $2.16). I cut it in hald lengthwise so it was 1/6 of a yard wide. Then I cut it so I had 2pices 40 inches long and 2 peices 20 inches long. I had 3 layers. Two 40 inch and the peices together the two shorter ones on top and stiched. I was sure to size the fringe so the short layer would blend. I hope this discription makes sense. I was trying to not waste any fabric. I used printed fleese. Pink with snowflakes. Very Cute!!!! Thank you for the idea!!!!

[...] Fleece Hat, scarf, & mittens. The kids helped me sew & cut the fringe. Find info HERE. The scarves aren’t pictured, but are super easy–just sew three scarf-sized pieces of fleece together straight down the middle length-wise, then cut fringe on both sides and fluff. Directions & pictures HERE. [...]
