I've made some patchwork scarves for the shop.
The ones I made last winter were quite simple and I wanted to do something a little different this time around. So I appliqued the little birdies and flowers onto the linen panels after doing the patch-worky bit.
Also, the scarves are special because they're lined with 100% organic cotton fleece from the Michael Miller organics range. I got some last winter from equilter - a quick check looks like it's still in stock. Fabric.com also has 100% organic fleece (in other colours as well) at a much cheaper price (but not from the MM range). Theirs is called "sweatshirt fleece" but I'm guessing it's the same thing.
The fleece is incredibly soft and warm - highly recommended for sensitive kiddy skin. Actually, for any skin - I think I'm off to make one for myself....
oh! That's quite the coincidence. I've just made a few up for the Bondi Markets from some strips from a quilt that I abandoned! Yours are far more gorgeous with the little birds!

Those are so sweet Marina, as are you! Thanks for your lovely comment today on my last post. Being a mummy can be so tough!
Those scarves would be lovely for big girls too. I made a similar one for a friend for spring with linen, cotton and embroidery but I hadn't thought to whip a warm one up for winter. Your very clever adding the snuggly fleece :)
