Two weekend sewing projects video tutorial

Let’s get ready for winter with this patchwork and milky infinity scarf.

You may find sewing minky is a bit tricky but I used lots of pins to stop the piece from moving and it was fine. All imperfections are hidden by the fur so it’s very forgiving to work with too.

Choose a thick minky fabric so it feels more wintery.

I used Michael Miller fabrics and minky to make this infinity scarf.

• Snuggle Bella minky in light pink – beautiful and super soft.
• Strata in assorted colours
• Cotton couture assorted solids in matching colours – I love Cotton couture, the best brand for solids

The second project is one of my favourite items: a microwave/ice cream bowl. If you haven’t made a microwave bowl yet, have a go. It’ll become one of the most useful things in the kitchen overnight.

A note on materials

Use 100% cotton for fabric, batting and thread. I have a number of bowls and I’ve used them many times and none of them has caught fire. They don’t even get hot. You’ll notice the fabric I used is metallic but it’s actually plastic. I’ve tested out and it works fine, just as many plastics are fine in the microwave.

If you don’t trust your batting, you can use Wrap-N-Zap which is designed for microwave use.
