mom2jjka Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I am making my teen daughter an M&M scarf for Christmas. So I made a bunch of colored circles, and sewed them together...but I have no idea how to get the M's on. I originally had hoped to just embroider them on with white yarn, but when I tried that the back side of the circles looked messy Any ideas?

aggieamy Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Can you cut the "M" out of white felt and then stitch it on with thread? You'll probably be able to see the thread but it won't be as noticable as white yarn on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYoungerMrsWarde Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Cute! Embroidering the "m" on both side will "clean" up the messy. Or you could double the scarf and sew on an extra circle on the "back" after the embroidery. Or on the back you could try to embroider over the white, but I'm not sure how that would turn out.

mom2jjka Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 I have no idea, but that is SO CUTE! Thanks. She loves M&M's so I'm hoping she'll like it. :-) If I find the time I'm hoping to make a matching striped hat in the same bright colors. Can you cut the "M" out of white felt and then stitch it on with thread? You'll probably be able to see the thread but it won't be as noticable as white yarn on the back. I wondered about felt. I hadn't thought to try thread though...that just might work. Thanks, and I'll keep you posted. (I really wish I had made them 2 sided, or able to be stuffed. That would have solved a lot of my problems.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
