PROJECT 114
Choosing the correct fabrics will make the designs pop!
CHOOSING FABRICS
For this project you will want to choose a soft fabric such
as cotton or a lightweight flannel. Be careful about fabrics
that are too cuddly, as they can lessen the warming effect
by creating a project that is too thick.
These hand warmers feature multiple hoopings, so we
were able to customize the front and back by using
different types of fabric. The combination of solid and
printed fabrics gives a striking visual effect for each of
these beautiful and functional designs.
POCKET HAND WARMERS | ANITA'S EXPRESS | 125
We selected solid fabrics for the front portion of each
hand warmer so that the beautiful bean stitches of each
snowflake design would stand out. For the back of our
hand warmers, we chose whimsical winter-themed printed
cotton fabric. Our thread colors are complementary shades
of blues, grays, and white, but you can experiment with any
color palette you prefer. Metallic or matte threads would
also be beautiful to use in this collection for a wintery feel.
