I wanted to make something for my wife for valentine's she loves new york and she loves being stylish.. so after our experience in new york the other day.. i decided to make her the ultimate cold accessory.. i like to call it the Terminatrix.. Terminator .. because guys can use this also.. i hope you guys like it as much as my wife did


After Visiting New York the other day... i realized how extremely cold and miserable you could be without the right accessories.. My ide a of cold must haves were a tiny scarf and an ok jacket... Boy was i wrong.. While there i talked to my cold weather veteran friends.. They had everything you need.. big scarf.. gloves, earmuffs, facecover, etc etc.. of course while there i was already thinking on my entrance for this contest.. my idea was a gloves, scarf and ipad holder.. but after talking to them they gave me a couple of suggestions of their ultimate accessory.. they wanted a purse.. one that would resist make up spills etc..

Also my idea  of a scarf was way off.. and i also realized that i need some kinda face cover and earmuffs.. it was painfully cold and not covering these really hurt..

So i went back to the drawing board.. i was gonna mix all of the accessories into 1.. i wanted something that you would grab on your way out and not worry if you forgot something... also i wanted something with detachable earmuffs.. 1 because my friend almost lost hers so they need to be attachable.. 2 because they get annoying so i wanted to have the option of putting them away...

Finally while looking for a base for my earmuff... i found a pair of bluetooth headphones that definetly needed to be worked into this project :)

MAterials..

2.5 yards of Material.. i like this plated material
1 small piece of blizzard or microfiber fleece 
1 Small piece of pleather or some kinda fabric that wont stain easly
1 Bag of oversized buttons
Sewing machine
Headphones or some kinda frame for your earmuffs
1 -  in separating sport zipper

Step 1: Measure and cut your fabric

Ok so 1st of all i picked a nice fabric with a nice pattern.. it suppose to be for suits or something like that.. i wanted to buy 3 yards but they only had 2 1/2..

So anyways i went home and used my existing scar to measure how much fabric i was gonna use.. for my experience i know i needed at least 2 scarfs up north.. so i  doubled the thickness of my scarf when cutting the material.. also i wanted this scarf to go around my face and still hang low so i could have an ipad holder or a purse if a girl is to use this..

so i actually ended up using the 2/ 1/2 yards.. however, this may vary on each person.. depends how tall you are etc.. so i suggest you cut the thickness of your fabric.. then put it around your neck at least once... then decide where to cut it.. remember is better to have extra than have too little

I really like the scarf design! And the detachable ear muffs were a great addition. My only question is with the scarf around your neck, does the ipad make the scarf tug on your neck from the weight or feel uncomfortable at all?

in my last step i talk about adding buttons and holes at the end of the other side of the scarf.. this make your scarf into kinda of a messenger bag.. this helps balancing the ipad and evens out the weight.. if you dont do this.. it does feel a little tight but not much. :) thanks for the feedback.. i gonna post more pics when i get home
