Ruana Tutorial

Welcome to Wednesday.  First up let's announce the winner of the Barefoot Dreams Throw from Monday's blog post

Taylor W...

Taylor's favorite Christmas song is Silent Night.....good choice Taylor!

Big Congratulations!!!

No worries if you didn't win......

Make sure you read to the end of this post for another chance to win.

And now, as promised, here are the instructions for how I made the Ruanas.

I simply bought 1.5 yards of no pill fleece that was 60 inches wide.  I folded the fleece in half along the longest side.  Then found the center and marked one inch on both sides of the center line. 

 I cut all the way to the fold one inch on either side of the Center line.  When I got to the fold I simply rounded the cut

Kimberly received one and was kind enough to model it

There are so many pretty colors and patterns of fleece so you are bound to find some you love.  I shopped at JoAnn Fabric.  The fleece was $14.99 a yard but I used a coupon.  Always look for a coupon when you shop there.

Now here's our last giveaway for 2018

It is another Barefoot Dreams Throw

this time in a pretty wine color.  

All you need to do is tell me your favorite dish on the Christmas Dinner table.  Mine is the potato and cheese casserole......yes, please and thank you!
