Getting Started

1. Plan Your Layout

Separate the fabrics into two sets and arrange them end to end in an 8 x 2 layout. Once you’re happy with the colour placement, take a quick photo on your phone as a reference before sewing.

2. Piece the Scarf Panels

With right sides facing together, sew the fabric pairs along the long edges. Continue joining the pairs end to end until you create two full scarf lengths, each made up of 16 pieces. Press all seams flat for a clean finish.

3. Layer the Scarf

On a flat surface, lay out the quilt wadding. Position one scarf panel on top with the right side facing upward.

4. Add the Second Panel

Place the second scarf panel on top with the right side facing downward, creating a fabric “sandwich” with the wadding in between.

5. Pin Everything Together

Carefully pin through all three layers, matching seams and edges around the entire scarf. If desired, insert the woven label into one side seam before stitching.

6. Helpful Sewing Tips

For smoother stitching and easier handling, increase your stitch length to 3. A walking foot can be especially helpful when sewing through layered fabrics and wadding

7. Stitch Around the Edges

Sew around the full perimeter of the scarf, leaving a 10cm opening along one long side so the scarf can be turned through later.

8. Turn and Finish

Trim back excess wadding and clip the corners to reduce bulk. Turn the scarf right side out through the opening.

Using the bamboo point turner included in your kit, gently shape the corners for a crisp finish. Press well, then close the opening with a neat ladder stitch.

9. Add the Final Details

Following the illustrations in the pattern, use the Sashiko needle and thread to create the decorative quilt ties that complete the scarf.

Your Butter Quilt Scarf is now finished—ready to wear, style, and admire for seasons to come.
