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

Step 4 Sticking To It: How to pin the Arm Warmers together

We will begin with pinning the flannel and fleece back pieces. If you haven't already, put the two back pieces together with the flannel facing down on the bottom and the fleece facing up on the top so that the wrong sides are together. You will notice that the flannel sticks out at the top and bottom of the fleece, and not on the sides. Fold the flannel over the fleece and pin down as shown in the 1st picture below. Repeat for the bottom flannel edge. Set aside.

Next, we will work on the arms. Put one of the flannel arms face down on the table. Add the fleece on top, facing up. Align edges from the wider side to the skinnier side and pin. There should be approx. half an inch of flannel that is hanging over the skinnier side, as shown below, if not, trim the fleece so that you do have half an inch of flannel showing. Fold the flannel over the fleece and pin down [image 2]. Repeat for the second arm.

Putting them together:

Now we will attach each of the sleeves to the back piece. First, it is important to know where the top and bottom of the back piece is. The top will be the side that is curved more, and the bottom is straight all the way across [image 1]. We will begin by placing one pinned sleeve on the table with the flannel side facing up. Place the pinned back piece on top of the sleeve with the flannel side facing down, and making sure that the bottom corner of the straight edge side of the back is aligned at the bottom of the sleeve [images 4, 5 and 6]. Begin pinning the sleeve to the back piece at the bottom and curve with the edges of the sleeve and back piece. The top of the back piece will end somewhere in the middle while going up the sleeve. It is not intended to go all the way around [image 7]. Do the same with the next sleeve, beginning at the bottom of the back piece. You should be able to see the sleeves start to form around the "shoulder" area [image 8].
