MYOG Neck Warmer/ Face Cover

You could just skip step 2 and leave that seam open… As long as the fabric sticks to itself OK, it should be fine.

It looks like a Buff, except with a seam. But much less expensive. But then you have a seam. A conundrum.

Thanks for the replies.

I suppose I could go without a seam there, but I'd really rather have something there. I was thinking maybe instead of one long seam around the neck I could do little short groups of seams, that way it holds together and when I pull it over my head it would expand in between the groups of seams. Anybody else have tips or tricks, or experience with doing something like that?

Ken: That's totally what I'm going for. I had never seen one of those until you just said that and I google searched it. I had no clue they made something like this (I mean I was pretty sure, I just didn't know what it was called or anything like that). Thanks for that! I may just use the fabric for something else and shell out the money for a buff haha.

Not sure if this will work, but maybe worth a shot.

Try a multi-stitch zig-zag with medium stitch length.

Elastic thread would also work, but can be tricky.

I appreciate all your input but I just broke-down and bought a buff. It's really nice! The fact that it has no seams still baffles me.

I think I learned a lot though about this attempted project and It gives me other ideas! :) So yeah.. thanks again!

My sewing machine has a stretch stitch function for sewing elastic materials, check to see if yours does too, it could be useful for future projects.

That is actually somewhat misleading. See this pic of a buff from the Buff web site:

There is 'no seam' because it is knitted on a standard tubular knitting machine (very common).
If it has 'no hems' than that is because they rely on the way the edges roll up to conceal them. Fair enough, but different from what James was asking for.

The ends of my buff are not hemmed, just raw ends of fabric.

Hi,

We are living in a high tech world. Take a close look at any modern T-Shirt, they don't have a seam either.
