| These cosy flannel shawls are quick and easy to make. Roomy pockets
can hold eyeglasses, tissues, a pocketbook or your cell phone. |
|
| The finished size of each shawl is 78" x 21". The pockets are
12" x 9". We used plain royal blue cotton flannel 60" wide. Fleece is also
a suitable material for the project. |
|
|
Cutting out
|
| For the shawl, cut out a rectangle measuring 81" x 24". For the pockets,
cut out two rectangles measuring 14" x 10". |
|
Embroidering
|
| Step One: Embroider the large rectangles with the FSL
Crochet Snowflakes. When embroidering the designs on fabric, use either
rayon or polyester 40-weight embroidery threads. (When making FSL with
these designs, use cotton threads). Both flannel and fleece do not need
a stabilizer with these designs. However, we strongly recommend to make
a test stitch-out first. |
|
| Step Two: Make embroidery on the pockets. One of the shawls
features the Snowman
and Santa
Claus applique designs. We did not use a stabilizer for the applique. |
|
| The second shawl features the Christmas
Eve Lace and Fir-Trees
in Snow for the large hoop. |

Sewing
|
| Step One: Finish the raw edges of the shawl. We just turned
the edges of the shawl 1/2", pressed, turned the edges another 1", pressed
and topstitched. |
| Step Two: Finish the raw edges of the pockets. We finished the
raw edges of the pockets with zigzag, then turned 1/2", pressed, pressed
the upper edge 1" and pressed again. We topstitched the upper edges of
the pockets. |
| Step Three: Stitch the pockets to the ends of the shawl. |
|
|
The shawls are ready. Enjoy!
