How wide was the fabric you used?
CHERYL COLE Hi 😊 the width of the fabric is determined by the width of your towel or washcloth. Ex : washcloth is 10” the fabric would be cut 10”
What widrh did everyone use 36 or 44. I already know that its cut to match the towel. But how long did you make them?
CHERYL COLE the fabric I used was 44”
Just ran across your video/channel, love this project. Doing them now for gifts and for myself. Loved the video, great instructions.
Thanks very much for doing this video. I've made about 50 of them as gifts since watching it and everyone loves it! There are not many videos on how to that are simple and straight-forward like yours, so thanks again!
Barbara Grant You are so welcome! Thanks for the compliment, glad you enjoyed it 😀
My sister and I saw one that was over $20 at a craft fair. We took a picture of it (😬) and my sister made some, turned out great! Your method looks easy, so I’m making one today. Bought a kit for one, making that, but your method is quicker AND less expensive! Thank you.
+GrandmaPatty49 You are very welcome 😊
Have looked at several tutorials and this one was so easy using wash cloths/dish cloths. It is a cute, useful present, too.
Thanks Sandee!
what a cool gift I will have to get my granddaughters together to make things from their mom. thank you
I can't believe I'm just seeing this for the first time 2 years later, but so happy I am 😊. Thank you so much for sharing how to make these. So cute,quick and easy to make, and just in time for mother's day 👏👏👏. I have a few people that I know would love to receive one. I've never heard of or seen anything like this before but I believe I would definitely use one of those before using a apron. So thank you again. Early happy mother's day.
You are very welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video these are very nice gifts 😀 Happy early Mother’s Day to you too 😃
Love this! I now know how over complicated I have been making these! I think you're awesome!
Anne Miller Awe Thank You 🤗
I love the idea of using a washcloth...no raw edges like when you cut a kitchen towel in half. Thank you for that and this great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😊
I was just thinking a few weeks ago that these were going to be my Christmas gifts for the women in my family this year, since they have everything lol. I would definitely like to see more videos like this! Thanks!
+Shauntrisa Simmons Thanks so much for watching 😊 I plan to make many more 🤗
Thank you for the quick and easy tutorial.. I just watched another one and had to switch off because it was soo long and complicated it actually made me want to pass up making this. Thank God for your tutorial. Keep it simple and easy is the way to go, especially for beginners like me who find detailed instructions overwhelming. Keep up the good work. You have one new subscriber to your channel :)
Yours is the best one out there. So many others have taken making the boa scarf way too complicated. And with some of the ladies talking way to much rather than just showing how to do it. I see many others have given you similar input about the simplicity of your video here. Simple does it for me. TY
Thanks so much!
Yes, more handy, yet fashionable items!…btw, how long was the scarf part?…sorry if I missed it🤷♀️
donna erickson Hi, scarf is width of fabric which would be around 42 inches you could make a little shorter 😊
Of all the ways I’ve seen these made, this is by far the most time efficient way to make them. Thanks gore sharing.
Thanks for watching ☺️
You used washcloths! Genius! Love it.
I just learned about these and made my first couple, but I must tell you that the way you make them is sooooo much easier than the way I learned. Thank you so much for sharing!!
My sister-in-law would love this--thank you for sharing!!!
This was the simplest instruction and plan for this project! I can’t wait to give this a try!
She makes it so quick and easy, that I think you might find making them addictive 🤣 I know I have.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Best and easiest technique. It took me a moment to figure out that the length of the fabric is actually the width of the fabric on the bolt, so about 44 or so after cutting off the selvages. Buying those kitchen towels and cutting them in half is probably more expensive than then buying 2 nice washclothes.
I'm just learning how to sew and this is something i want to make.
Awesome! It's very simple. You CAN do it :)
Love it have made 5 of them for gifts. I did find that the wash clothes get bulky on the seam so I trimmed that thick edging off on the seam end and now it works really great. Thank you love them I am going to add names to mine as well.
That is awesome 👏 So glad you enjoyed making them. Great idea to add names to them. Thanks for watching 😃
What a great idea. I had never heard of a kitchen boa so thank you. I will definitely be making one (or more for gifts) 🤩
I only heard about Kitchen Boas today on a Facebook quilting page. What a great idea!! I'm going to make a few for Christmas gifts...because they are so fast and easy...I actually have plenty of time to make them!! Thanks for the great tutorial!
Cindi Hatch I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial. These are wonderful and practical gifts 😊 Thanks for watching!
Easiest video I've seen on these.
I'm glad I found your videos. I've been looking at patterns and they all seemed over complicated with pleads and such. For sure I'll make them with your instructions. Thanks!
Thanks so much! You are very welcome :) Check out our online shop too www.thebrokenneedle.com
just came across your video after watch 3 or 4 others your seem to be straight forward n no fussing love the way you do yours cant wait to sew them up thank you
Thanks so much 😀 You are very welcome 🤗
Great video! Looks like you helped me decide on what to make for all the women relatives in my family for Christmas. Thanks!
+Debby Krzyston I am glad I could help 😊 I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
Wendy, thank you for making this so easy. Your editorial is the best🍎
This was the best kitchen boa tutorial I have seen 😊
Wow, thank you! 😊
Thank you 😊
Yes. I m so glad to come across this great tutorial. I m immediately getting all the necessary materials to stitch it immediately. I want to make a matching set for apron, boa towel as a gift for my friend
Thank you like how simple this is with face cloths
Wow! So fast and easy. I have made others but your way is so much faster!!!!
Time to crank them out for Christmas presents!
Yay! Glad you found our channel. You will get them done very quickly. Thanks for watching ☺️
Such a great idea! Thanks for the great tutorial. (Love the blooper, too.)
Thanks for watching!
Oh my goodness!!! I have viewed several videos on how to make a Kitchen boa. Yours is the easiest one to make ! You are amazing!! Thank you!!! 🙃
Thanks so much for watching 😊
Could you please show how you make the Boa with the hand towel, and where you bought the hand towels so I can know the width of them? Thank you!
I just seen this for the first time and this September 20, 2020. I will be making a few of these for Christmas. You didn't state the length of fabric just said the width???? Thanks!!
Hi, the length is WOF (width of fabric) which is normally 42 inches. I am taller than most ;) so you could cut down to 32 inches. Thanks for watching!
Hi 👋 I've watched alot of these videos, and I gotta say I think I love yours in compassion ❤️ the other others seemed way to complicated compared. Thanks 😊
Thanks so much for watching! New videos coming soon. :)
dont no why she got so many dislikes ( shes happy and funny and does it for REAL ( thankyou ( a super LIKE
Absolutely love this!!! I'm making theme for my mom and sister-in-law for Christmas
That's awesome!
Sewi g over the thickness of a towel? Any thoughts
I haven't had any issue at all using the "A" foot. You can try a walking foot if need be :)
Came across your video on hopes that I can sew these as gifts for my friends.
What is the length of the fabric, in between the two washcloths? If you said, I didn't hear you. Thanks for the video. It was simple to understand.
I cut mine by width of fabric which is 42 inches but you can make shorter as I am 5’ 7” tall 😀 so it depends on the height of the user. So between 32” and 42” would work for everyone. Thanks for watching!
HELP i have a problem, im hooked on maing these Ive made 10 in 2 days & Im planning make more tomorrow I totally love making these I even made a longer one for my hubby :) ty for the tutorial :)
Yay! That is fantastic :) I had someone at my quilt shop the other day say they were going to make one for their husband for him to use in his workshop :)
this is a great tutorial for the neck boa. i love the speed of your method, and that your video is so quick to view and easy to follow. wish i had come across this in 2018, but happy to find it now in early 2021. now off to the sewing machine. thanks!
Thank YOU for watching and commenting!
I would like to say thank you for this great tutorial! I made 7 in no time!!!
Melissa Joyner You are very welcome 😊
Perfect and easy!
That is very clever i have only just found your video and as a retired person i am always looking for new ideas i make things for our Church stalls I lone your work
+lynette perry I have more planned in the near future. I am catching up from the holidays 😊 I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Making this tomorrow, possibly! You make it look so easy!
Love these making for Christmas very easy to follow
Michelle Lomelino Yay! Aren’t they fun. 😀 Thanks for watching!
I love these. See them at a craft fair today and said to myself I could make them. And found your video and you make it look so easy.
I've got a question. How long is the fabric you use?
32 inches 😊
THIS IS AMAZING! Thank you! Mother in law and Daughter saw these at a craft show, I thought they were goofy but they WANTED one! Talked them out of it, so I could make them one! Gave Daughter (14 and super good in the kitchen) the proto-type today... with Avengers fabric. LOVES IT!
Awe that is fantastic 😀 Thanks for watching 😊
@@TheBrokenNeedle Gave MIL hers this weekend for cookie baking day.. she was SO HAPPY lol
Suzi DeMars Wonderful to hear 😊
This is sooo much quicker and easier than the way I made mine. Well not that much but yes like your method much better!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 😀
Thanks so much! Some of the videos are so complicated and yours is easy and to the point. I'm going to make some for Christmas. My daughter in law loves everything Dinosaurs, she will be so excited to open up a Kitchen boa in her stocking with dino fabric!
Karen Ray You are very welcome! I am glad o was able to help and I am sure your daughter in law will love it 😊
I'm curious, I noticed that you cut the material straight from the bolt and made your boa, but I've always been trained to wash and iron new material before you sew it. Have I been lied to all these years?
It depends. If you are sewing garments then you would prewash or if you are using cheap fabric from a big box store versus a local quilt shop or fabric store. It has been a debate forever. So do as you wish.
Love this. Thanks!
Nice quilt top in background!!
+Duane Carpentier isn’t it stunning 🤗
Well better late than never to see your video. Oh my how much easier you made this. I’ll be making lots for Christmas gifts. Thank you for taking the time to make the video and showing a much easier way!!
You are very welcome 🤗 They are sew simple to whip out for gifts. Thanks for watching!
Love this! Now, I have been out of the sewing loop.......what is the gadget called, that you are using to hold the fabric down.....it appears its holds the ruler as well.......sorry, i feel silly asking this!
Don't feel silly :) there's always some new crazy gadget coming out. It's called The Gypsy Gripper. It is great for big and small rulers alike. It keeps your fingers safely out of the way of the rotary cutter. Thanks for watching! Check out our online shop too! www.thebrokenneedle.com
@@TheBrokenNeedle thanks so much! LOL!!! I was trying to think of all kinds of names for that.....I would NEVER have thought Gypsy!!! Hahaha!
where did you get your cutting board your instruction are great just anotherr way todo a boa !
We sell them here at our shop.
Love it!! One question 😊 how long is the fabric in the middle? I know it’s 12 inches wide, but how long is it?
42 inches 😊
I made this boa towel following your video. It was wonderful. I have a question and am seeking some advice on making an apron bib. Can I send you a photo?
short and sweet- I love this! I am making a couple of these for pre-holiday gifts... great tutorial!
Thanks and have fun sewing 😀
You made that so crazy simple. Thank you. 👍
Love your video. I am going to try making a few. It seem beginner friendly and thats exactly what I need. Thank You!
Awesome! You should be able to whip these out in no time.
Great job pumpkin
The simple version, many thanks!
You’re very welcome 😊
What material is best to use so it doesn’t get all wrinkly when laundered?
The only thing I can think of would be polyester but I wouldn't use it for a kitchen boa. So, not sure there is anything. I don't have a problem with wrinkles when I am using quilt shop quality 100% cotton and I take it out of the dryer immediately.
I had never heard of this but I will be making some now!! Thank you very much!!!
+Char Edwards You are very welcome 😊
I understand the width is determined by the width of the towel or washcloth, but what length of the scarf fabric do you recommend? The pattern of fabric I plan to use requires that I cut the scarf length-wise and I am not sure what width your bolt was.
And by the way THANK YOU for the video. I have been dying to make one of these.
Hey Candace 😀 My bolt was 44” and after I cut the selvedge off I would say the length was about 42”
Candace Ruelas Thanks so much for watching. If there is something else you would like to see let me know.
What is the mat you are using. It looks like it has some grooves in it already to help do straight line
Nothing special...just used too much 😂 it doesn't have any grooves. It is a regular cutting mat that I flipped to the backside to get the most use out of it and made my own cutting lines with a sharpie.
How long is the boa piece of material please? I don't think you said how long to cut it; I understand the width, just need an approx. length of the boa material, not the washcloth or kitchen towel piece, thanks, cindi
I cut mine by width of fabric which is usually 42” but I am taller than most. Do you could cut a little shorter like 36” 😀 Thanks for watching!
@@TheBrokenNeedle thanks so much!! I bought a bunch of $1 Christmas dish towels at DG, thought I'd try this, pics coming, cindi
@@cindilambwiley yahoo you will love it so quick ☺️
Love it
Can you tell me about how long the fabric is?
I cut mine by width of fabric which is normally 42” but it was long so you could cut to 36”
Thank you great idea. Going to make some
What is the length of your finished kitchen boa? Thank you!
36”
I've watched this many times, each time when I decide to make one for a friend or family member. But.....my problems are these: 1. the washcloths or towels never line up with the fabric exactly.....usually they are bigger/wider...even tho I cut the fabric the width they are & on a mat & with a roller cutter and 2. when you line up the towel or washcloth to fold & then sew the whole piece closed, those towel ends are way too bulky for my sewing machine to sew over. So my Boa scarves at the ends never come out as equal as I see yours here.
Not sure why the measurements would change. I always measure twice to make sure I cut correctly. Ex: If my washcloth is 9 1/2” then I would cut my fabric 9 1/2” by width of fabric which is usually 42”. Not sure what type of machine you have but you could use a walking foot and adjust the pressure of the presser foot and try using a stylus to help push it through 🤔
So how long is the middleton 36inches long? I it is 12 inch wide
It is 36” long and the width is determined by the width of the washcloth or hand towel that you use. Thanks for watching!
how long is the fabric before the added washcloth
32 inches 😊
It's very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
I would like a transcript of the video. Is that available
Will have to try to make them!
Can you provide measurements for length of the cotton fabric? I bought a yard of fabric for this. Will I need the full yard for one scarf?
The length is width of fabric which is normally 42” but you could adjust because that may be long for some. If you have one yard of fabric you could probably make 3 boas out of that. The width is determined by the width of your washcloth or towel.
Thank you for the video. It sounds easy. 🙂
Thank you I s
aw one in a store and it seemed so easy. I watched your video and then promptly made two. Thank you so much great video and keep the great work up.
J. cUDE Thanks so much for your sweet comment. I am so happy you enjoyed the video and you were able to make two of them 😍
So glad I found your tutorial! I’ve been wanting to learn a simple way to make these. Thank you!
Yay! I hope you have fun making them.
I understand that my fabric should be the same width as my towel but how long should my center fabric be?
Width of fabric selvage to selvage which is usually 42” but you could shorten to 32” 😃
What a fun and simple gift idea! Love it I think even I can figure out how to make one of them lol BTW where did you get your ruler thingy with the handle? That is slick!
The ruler is creative grids and the handle is from Gypsy Gripper 😊
Hey there hey! I just found you and I'm so excited! When you use the dish cloth do you just cut it in half at the width and then fold it half with the edges touching in the center?
Hi Glad you found me 😀 Yes, you are correct! New videos coming soon! Check out our online shop too! www.thebrokenneedle.com
What do you think about ironing fusible lightweight interfacing to the main fabric to give the fabric stability? Good idea?
El Hogue that’s not a bad idea. I don’t think it’s necessary but it couldn’t hurt either 😊. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I bought a package of inexpensive wash cloths at Wally World. Do you think they'll work okay?
Yes ma’am, I did the same 🤣
How long is the fabric? It said 12inches I never saw the length. 😬
Width of fabric 40 inches after selvage is cut off. You can make shorter if you want 😀
The Broken Needle thanks so much I’m definitely making these 😊
Love it❤
my friend told me about these today on FB im going give it a try
+Doris Root Yay! It’s so easy you will love it!
i made one this morning & totally love doing them guess what be for presents & for my camper Awesome video tyvm for doing it
Doris Root Fantastic 😀. Aren’t they fun? Have a very Merry Christmas 🎁
How long is your material/scarf?
Width of Fabric which is normally 42" but I am 5'8" tall so you could cut down to 32" or whatever feels right to you :) Thanks for watching! Check out our online shop too! www.thebrokenneedle.com
Brilliant!! Can't wait to whip these out!
+Lori Richards Yay! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
new at sewing what is the length of the middle fabric?
Length of fabric? Please
question when you top stitch to close the wash cloth are you top stitching on the washcloth or the material. the wash cloth is pretty thick.
You are correct, I did topstitch the material rather than the washcloth 😀
For the fabric, did/can you just use a yard of fabric ?
I love this video and the simplicity of the project!!!
@@pearliearchambault295 you don’t need that much fabric, it would be way more than necessary. This is cut 9” x width of fabric 42” but you can shorten to 32”
@@TheBrokenNeedle what I think I wanted to know is: how many could you make from a yard of fabric?
@@pearliearchambault295 4 😊

This is so much more basic than I've seen so far! Thank you! Approximately how much material would you suggest?
1/4 yard by width of fabric “42” would make 1 😀 You could trim to 32” for shorter folks 🙂
@@TheBrokenNeedle thank you for your information. I haven't sewn anything in several years and am excited to try these Kitchen Boa's.
I did this boa it turned out really good and it was easy but how do u make the Christmas trees in the back ground just curious? Do u have a taturial on it?
Sorry we do not. It was a quilt kit from Moda a few years ago. Thanks for watching!
