I am so in love with the new thing I made for myself! I am totally smiling because I saw something I wanted to make and I sat down and made it and it came out great! Plus, it was fast and I didn’t make any mistakes, which is a huge deal because usually nothing I make is without mistakes and while sewing is faster than crocheting, I would rarely describe it as ‘fast’.

Anyway, I’m a sucker for scarves (and have pretty much driven that trend into the ground), but it’s also a practical habit because they keep my neck warm – even in terrible summertime air conditioning!

This is the Patricia Infinity Cowl from luvinthemommyhood and I am so happy I made it and equally happy that it was available as a free tutorial to be made!

It’s just such a simple and cute idea and I am a fat quarter junkie so I didn’t have to buy any new fabric to make it. Plus, the most magical part of the project was that I pulled out six fat quarters from my stash that were all from various sources (not a collection) and the first six were perfect together! Perfect!

That never happens to me. Ever. I am usually digging through my stash for at least as long as the project I’m pulling fabric for is going to take me. Now, don’t get me wrong; fondling fabric is one of my favorite activities, but sometimes fabric selection can seem like such a time-suck. Anyway, here are the fabrics and they are totally random. Although, I think the green daisy number is also a Kaffe Fassett, but not of the same collection. Plus, I have one cheap-o Joann quarter in there even.

I love the project and the tutorial diagrams were nice. I have to say though, if I wasn’t already experienced in sewing, I would have had some trouble at the end, putting the two ends together, but I figured it out.

I’m just really happy with this and wanted to share. I am also thinking about a modified kid-size version or skirt…??? 🙂
