making of your own chenille fabric and making a heatingscarf cover of it=D
Here is the promised cover for the scarf heating pillow.
Again because i will move , i must clean my materials.LOL
I had seen this chenille making years ago on some clothing parts.
I really like it.
When i was searching last year on the internet to clover materials shops. I saw a special tool for making this chenille fabric. when i call the salesman (it was a woman.LOL she told the directions to make it.
And thought why not buying. I have discovered that you really don't have to!
But i can be handy, i didn't like it at all.
but its fun to make you're own chenille.
My mother in law had a bedspread of it, My own mother disliked it, because she called it as kitschy. So pitty.
So because its kitshy and i'm still ond of it, i like to share you this.
Its really easy to make, and of course you can make it for other uses as well, like bags or, bedspreads or ,other covers or....clothes!
O, a last point the time is whichtout the washing and drying after the cutting of your fabric.
feel free to ask me i've you want;-D

Step 1
I had maked a chinelle heatingscarf cover,so the measures i had to cut of the fabric is depending what you like to make of the chenille fabric.
Don't uses very thick fabric, or only on the underlayer!but this are mine measures.
i have taken 145cm (58 inches) x 30 cm (12 inches)
cut four layers form this sizes and pin them on each other.Attention:
Washes always your fabric before you will uses them, it can be crimping when it wasn't washed before!
And ironing them before its helping you too a lot. I'm not such a fan of ironing=D but its better to do so.LOL -
Step 2
draw with the tailors chalk diagonal lines at 4 cm /1,50 inches distance on the four layers of fabric.
I like the smaller lines, like the small covers i had made. the lines are more next to each other , about 2 cm/0,50 inches. -
Step 13
A very smart thing to do,before you will use your chenille fabric to stiches it beside the edges and zigzaging. It makes it more easy to make something of the fabric, i had so pitty discoverd that to late.LOL
and cut of the sides of the fabric.You have make now your fabric, but i've you like i will tell you how i made me scarfheating cover.

Step 14
i would like as closuring a lip with a buttonhole , but of course you can chose for more easy enclosurings solution.
I 'm not to fond of velcro, its make to much damages on your clothes. so thats way i chose for a button and a button hole.;-D
Okay cut of the fabric three time a shapes like this, two layers laying with there right side on each other, the last is with his right on the wrong side on the other, Sew this fabric and cut a small edge from the round top and turn the fabric over.
Mostly people add some smelly hearbs in them too. It give you comfort. and of course you can lay it too in your bed in winter times. In my country it is very cold in the winter.
Hope you understand this. so not i will give it a try again. have a great fun week.;-D
