Pin the fur and lining pieces together, with the right (outer) sides facing inward. Stitch most of the way around the edge, leaving a gap that is near the battery pocket, and big enough to turn the scarf right-side out through that hole. If your battery pack is at one end of the scarf, just leave that end open.

Machine sewing: Keep the electronics on the top side when you are sewing around the edge. This will help you keep track of the wires, and make sure you don't sew through them or get them caught on parts of the machine.

Hand sewing: Use heavy duty thread, and an overhand stitch.

After the fur and lining have been joined along three seams, turn the scarf right-side out.

Cut a small slash in the inner (lining) side of the pocket, and pass the battery pack or snap connector through this hole. Hand-sew the slash closed so the battery pack cannot fit through the hole again. Hand sew the remaining open edge of the scarf.
