Team NZP Shares our Pre-Printed Fabric Panel Round Up for the Holidays – with Our Top Panel Picks!
Happy Thanksgiving! As we’re nearing the end of November, we’re in the midst of fall harvest here in Wisconsin. The roadside stands of pumpkins, squash, apples and gourds, bring brilliant color to the fading fall landscape. It’s time to head indoors, warm up a cup of apple cider, and begin sewing projects to brighten our homes for the upcoming holidays.
The Love of Sewing is our Common Thread.
We’re giving thanks this time of year for you–our sewing community. We’re so very grateful for your support and kindness, and for joining us each week as we share the exciting new projects that TEAM NZP is sewing and creating. Thank you, friends! We’re so very grateful for our founder and friend, Nancy Zieman. It’s because of Nancy, and her vision, that we’re all here together–celebrating our shared love of sewing. We’re grateful Nancy asked Deanna Springer to continue leading TEAM NZP into the future. And we’re grateful for Richard Zieman for his continued support and encouragement. We are truly grateful for our many blessings.
The changing seasons brings exciting new sewing projects this fall, new classes at our new store in Beaver Dam, and our annual Pre-Holidays Sale in store at The Nancy Zieman Sewing Studio and online at ShopNZP.com. Plus our Panel Sewing Round Up below!
Sewing for the holidays should be enjoyable and low-stress. Pre-printed fabric panels provide enjoyable sewing time. Just by adding a border or two, binding, and a rod pocket, you’ll have a beautiful seasonal decoration–that transforms a room and brings holiday joy. Our NZP Team Members have been enjoying looking through the beautiful fabric panels as they arrive here at The Nancy Zieman Sewing Studio and ShopNZP.com. Each time a new bolt arrives, we quickly open the box, unroll the bolt, admire the beauty, and brainstorm how we’d each finish our wall hangings. Deanna asked each of us to choose just one favorite fabric panel we’d like to sew for the holidays. It was difficult for everyone to choose just one! We’re sharing our top picks below:

Using a tape measure, measure forehead circumference – just above eyebrows: If forehead circumference measures 20-1/2″- 21-1/2″ make a size Small/Medium Turtleneck Scarf. If forehead circumference measures 21-1/2″-22-1/2″ make a size Medium/Large Turtleneck Scarf. We’re making a size Small/Medium Turtleneck Scarf in this sewing tutorial.
Prepare & Cut Fabric
Prepare your fabrics! Pre-treat fabric by steaming and pressing, then, stabilize fabrics for the sewing process by pressing and starching fabrics with June Tailor’s Quilters Starch Savvy. Press and starch, press and starch.
Cut One Fabric Rectangle 18″ long by 21″ wide for size Small/Medium. Be sure to cut the fabric rectangle with the greatest fabric stretch across the 21″ width. (For Size XS/Small cut one fabric rectangle 18″ long by 20″ wide. For size Medium/Large, cut one fabric rectangle 18″ long by 23″ wide: for a 10-1/2″ wide x 8-1/2 long finished scarf).NOTE: Deanna, from Team NZP, stitched a Turtleneck Scarf for her husband – with One Fabric Rectangle measuring 22-1/2″ long by 23-1/2″ wide – cut from 5/8 yd Stretch Jersey Knit Fabric. Or, you may be the designer and choose your own custom fabric rectangle size!
Stitch Turtleneck ScarfFold fabric rectangle, right sides together, meeting 21″ long edges.
Pin.
Our Turtleneck Scarf is the perfect project to stitch with a serger overlock machine! Place pins parallel to cut edges – when stitching with a serger.
Insert a new Schmetz Size 80/12 Jersey Chrome Sewing Machine Needle, and stitch seam with sewing machine set for a zig-zag wobble stitch , or stitch with an overlock stitch on a serger. Press seam flat, then press open or press to one side.Fold fabric tube, right sides together, stacking and aligning stitched seam and cut edges. Pin. Measure and mark a 2-1/2″-3″ opening along cut edges, staying an inch or more away from seam.
Stitch seam with serger – leaving an opening at markings.
When stitching with a flatbed serger, stitch seam with presser foot on the inside of the circular seam. Turn Scarf right side out through seam opening.
Before moving on to the finishing step, go ahead and try on your Turtleneck Scarf-in-process. Slip scarf over head and check for your desired fit. If scarf is too loose, turn inside out and restitch seam (above) taking a deeper seam allowance. Optional: Fuse a 3″ strip of
Clover’s 1/4″ Fusible Web Tape
to one inner seam allowance, at seam opening and fuse seam closed. Or, stitch opening closed with a sewing machine straight stitch, zigzag stitch, or hand stitching.
Change thread colors, and serge another turtleneck scarf!
Changing serger thread colors on our Bernette b64 AIRLOCK Serger is super-easy with air-threading technology! Cut threads above upper thread guides.Cut threads at needles, raise presser foot, and pull to remove all four cut threads.Change serger cone thread spools.On the Bernette b64 AIRLOCK Serger, slide the Air Threader Connector to ON. Insert thread into Air Threader Nozzles and press the round Air Threader Button (upper right photo).Thread Needles with the help of a
Machine Needle Threader.
Remove Slide-on Flatbed Table and Freearm Cover to reveal the freearm!
When stitching with a serger with a free arm, stitch turtleneck seam with the presser foot on the outside of the circular seam!
Wear your new Tw0-Layer Turtleneck Scarf as a fashion scarf, a fabric face covering, and even wear as a headband accessory. Our Two-Seam Turtleneck Scarf is such a fast and fun sewing project, you’ll be serging several Turtleneck Scarves in as little as one-hour! Each 1/2 yard of
Jersey Stretch Knit
makes two or three Turtleneck Scarves!
