A Fun Flannel and Fleece Arm Warmer Set With A Super Easy Scarf and Hat

Step 3 Making The Cut: Cutting The Fabric

Lay out all the pattern pieces for the arm warmers and cut each shape out using the 3 different patterns.Take note of where the folded edges are marked on the pattern, and put them next to a folded edge of material. You do not have to use the pre folded edge from where the fabric was on the bolt, feel free to cut out pieces and make your own fold; I did... it saves fabric! Make sure the way you are placing your patterns will allow room for all pieces to be cut out of the fabric.

Pin each pattern down to the material in several spots to make sure that the pattern is secure. For the arm pieces you can cut the two flannel pieces at the same time, as well as the two fleece pieces at the same time, just don't cut the fleece and flannel together because the flannel pattern is a little longer to allow room for sewing a hem on the sleeve [image 4]. When you are done, you should have two fleece sleeves, two flannel sleeves (that are .5" longer than the fleece), the fleece back piece and the flannel back piece. Place each fleece cut out with the flannel cut out making sure to put the wrong sides together so that they are ready to be pinned. 

Next, cut out the pieces for the scarf. The scarf is made of all fleece, no flannel. There is no pattern to follow, but each piece is 6" x 60". 

Last, you will cut out the pieces for the hat. I made all three pieces using 3 different colors of fleece, but you may choose to use all the same color, or just two different colors. Decide what order you want the colors in from top to bottom, and cut the pieces as follows:

Fleece Color 1 (top)- 23.5" x 3.75" (this color will only be in the "pom pom" of the hat)
Fleece Color 2 (middle)- 23.5" x 9.5"
Fleece Color 3 (bottom)- 23.5" x 9.75"

You should now have cut out all the fabric pieces that you will be using to complete the instructable.
