Cut two rectangles the same size: one of faux fur and one of the lining fabric, including about 1/2" for the seam allowance around the edge.

The scarf shown here has dimensions of about 60" by 9". We chose the 60" measurement to match the typical purchased fabric width of 60". If your fabric width is 45", you can make a shorter scarf or piece the fabric together. Save some extra fabric for the battery pocket that you'll build in step 9.

To cut faux fur with a minimal amount of shedding, use a razor blade on the back surface. Then, reduce shedding further by finishing the edges of the fur with a serger (overlock sewing machine) or a zigzag stitch.
