Guest Blogger - Rae Gun Ramblings - Hooded Scarf

Hi, I'm Marissa from

Rae Gun Ramblings.

I blog about all things crafty, tasty, pretty and just plain life.
I'm an insanely huge Harry Potter fan, fresh pasta addict, and
married to a crazy talented musician.
I also run a handmade baby and toddler clothing shop on etsy called
Rae Gun.

Early this year in an attempt to beautify my home, I made a bunch of
pillow cases. They were so quick and easy if you've been thinking of
updating your pillows or maybe changing things up for the Holidays you
should definitely check out my pillow
case tutorial.

If you're looking for a delicious, easy and impressive dessert to take
to your next get together you might want to try my recipe for Eclair
Cake. It's beautiful and super yummy. You can also cut it into to
bars and put them into mini loaf papers for convenient serving.

Finally, I'd love to introduce you to my hubby and my cute nieces. One
of my favorite things to do is sew fun (and sometimes goofy) outfits
for them and takes pictures. They are such sports to put up with me.
These are the bulls and matador outfits I made for them last year. You
can even see our own "running of the bulls" video here.
Hopefully you'll swing by my
blog and shop and see some
of my latest adventures.

Today though I want to share a quick and easy tutorial for how to make
your own hooded scarf. These are great because before things get too
cold you can wear them with a light jacket or cardigan to boost your
warmth. Or if you're anything like me they are the perfect solution to
those adorable, but hoodless winter coats. You can easily make the
pattern for adults or kiddos. This year I think all the guys in our
family will be getting one of these (they can be so hard to shop for).

What You'll Need

• 
  
  1/2 yard fabric for the outside (you can use anything you like)

• 
  
  1/2 yard fleece
  


• 
  
  either a hood piece from a sewing pattern or a hoodie that you can
  trace to make your own hood pattern.

What To Do:

1. 
   
   First either find a hood piece from a pattern you have or grab
   your favorite hoodie fold it in half and then trace about an inch
   around it to make yourself a hood pattern. It doesn't need to be
   exact, hoods are really flexible.




2. 
   
   Cut two hood pieces and 1 scarf piece (the scarf pieces I cut were
   5 inches by the length of the fabric so in my case 5x44 and 5x 50) out
   of the main fabric and the fleece. Your fleece may be longer than your
   other fabric which is totally fine. If that's the case just lay the
   shorter one on top of the longer one and cut the longer one down so
   they are the same size.
   
   


3. 
   
   Sew, right sides together the two fabric hood pieces together
   around the curve (the part that would go down the middle of your head.
   Do the same with the fleece.




4. 
   
   Try the hood on and see what you think. If you like a more fitted
   hood you can do what I did and sew across the point of the hood on
   each. Do this on a sewing machine so you can unpick if you don't like
   how it looks. Try it on and if you like it with the line sewn across
   cut off the extra nub at the top.This is totally optional but I like
   the shape better.


5. 
   
   Now pin the center of the scarf piece to the center seam of the
   hood (right sides together) sew the hood piece to the scarf piece. Do
   the same with the fleece.
   
   


6. 
   
   You should now have two hooded scarves.


7. 
   
   Next pin the two hooded scarves right sides together.
   


8. 
   
   Sew around all the edges leaving one of the skinny ends open.


9. 
   
   Right side out out everything.

1. 
   
   Close up the hole by tucking the ends under a little and sewing
   close and iron the the hooded scarf (it's best to iron from the main
   fabric side (not the fleece side).

You can wear it wrap style like the top picture, tied, or with the
hood down completely. I sewed a lot of this on my serger but since all
the seams are enclosed you can do it all on a regular sewing machine.
I'd love to know if you try this out and definitely would love to see
pictures. And I hope you'll stop by my blog and say hi.

THANKS, Marissa for this fun tutorial. It is definitely coming upon scarf season and is a great idea to have a hood attached! Love it! Visit Rae Gun Ramblings today and say HI!

"Creating" Traditions

What creative traditions do you have in your family for Christmas? I have posted a few of people I know and links to tutorials for them. At the bottom, please link up with any 'creative' traditions your family has. I'd love to see more!

Do you make an ornament as a tradition? Salt Dough ornaments would be easy to really create an ornament unique to your family. Little Miss Crafty has the recipe and how-to HERE.

Do you have a tradition of wearing new pajamas on Christmas Eve? Why not make some pajamas? Pickup Some Creativity has a tutorial for pajama pants and a link to the kimono top. See the tute HERE.

Maybe you have an artificial tree (like me) and miss the scents of Christmas. Make some fragrant cinnamon ornaments for the tree to bring back that traditional smell of Christmas. Recipe for these are found at I Love My 5 Kids. Go HERE.
Some families I know make a pillowcase for Christmas every year. HERE is a tutorial for a pillowcase with a french seam found at Pickup Some Creativity.

Do the women in your family have a tradition of creating an accessory like a necklace or scarf? If you dont', maybe you should start with this gorgeous ruffle scarf from A Hoot and A Holler. Visit the tutorial HERE.
