Make your own soft, cuddly, weighted scarf kit using fleece fabric that is laced together with a plastic safety needle and fleece ribbon. See video instructions here: Mitsy Kit make your own weighted scarf tutorial
Once the project is laced together on two sides, it forms a tube with five compartments for five drawstring pouches filled with the amount of rice you choose for the perfect weight. This can also be used as a neck warmer by placing the scarf in the microwave for a minute to minute and a half to warm up the rice. The kit includes the fleece fabric, fleece ribbon, plastic safety needle, and five drawstring pouches. Rice is not included with the kit and must be purchased separately. Scarf is 26″ long by 6.5″ wide. Various colors and patterns are available. Another bonus of this kit is that the fleece casing is washable. Simply unlace the long side, remove the rice filled pouches and wash the fleece casing. Once washed, reinsert the rice filled pouches, and re-lace the long side! Please call to specify your color or pattern preference.

Testimonials
“The residents love it,” Abbi said referring to Mitsy Kit programming. “It’s a very relaxing activity that engages both their body and mind, and it allows them to be creative. There’s also a beautiful product for them to be proud of at the end, which adds to the purposeful and meaningful aspect of the activity. We’re currently in the process of trying to bring the Mitsy Kits to all the Bridges communities.” Read the entire article here.

I had a wonderful experience with my special needs nephew with cognitive and small muscle challenges recently. He made a pillow from a Mitsy Kit. Even though he had never done any sewing before, he “got” it quickly and he was so proud and happy. Everyone who came into the house (we were on a family vacation with lots of folks) was proudly shown the finished pillow by him and he got a lot of high fives. Pride, self esteem, focus, patience, accomplishment and just a plain old fun hour together. We’ll do another one soon!
