To position the poppers put it around your neck and cross over at the front, then pick two positions where the two sides meet and sew your poppers there.

I wear scarfs too especially at work to stop me freezing outside, I can't walk as quickly at the moment due to an operation so I'm getting cold more as hobbling is all I can manage.Dawn rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658109186284804182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-69846195311081380332016-11-11T22:55:14.600+00:002016-11-11T22:55:14.600+00:00Thank you for that information Indigo.

Indoors when I am cold I wear a fleece jacket that has a zip and stand-up collar which doesn't 'grip' my neck like a scarf or polo jumper does. When I go out (which isn't often) the same type of fleece jacket goes under my coat and the collar comes up. I am very rarely out in the cold as all of my journeys are by car.<br /><br />Joan (Wales)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-73420350101363056392016-11-11T20:45:44.404+00:002016-11-11T20:45:44.404+00:00Joan: Sorry, should have said that when you look ...Joan: Sorry, should have said that when you look online for the buffs, they come on a card so are stretched tightly to show off the colours or pattern. They are not like that when you wear them. If you live near a motorcycle accessory store or camping store, perhaps you could go and have a look.

Had to ditch half my tops a good few years back (I do have my reasons). You might want to take a look at 'Buff Polar' (the orginal buff, but there may be cheaper versions), for ideas at least. They sit very loosely round the neck and the upper (much thinner part) can be pulled up over the mouth and nose if required for going out in freezing temperatures. Hope this is of some help.Indigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923047320516343161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-32111434017188406402016-11-11T16:11:05.787+00:002016-11-11T16:11:05.787+00:00I usually wear a buff around my neck, I used to we...I usually wear a buff around my neck, I used to wear them as hair bands years ago. Plenty of thermal layers on underneath too. I like the idea of the fleece but didn't quite understand the poppers, do the two ends fasten together so you have poppers underneath the other end we cannot see in the picture?<br />Heating is on for 90 minutes in the evening at 16.5 degrees, it is quite cheap on a condenser boiler. My house is exceptionally cold; on a north facing windy hill with single walls, no cavity insulation, it's like a fridge most days.yorkshire lassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-373134571957517482016-11-11T12:18:10.051+00:002016-11-11T12:18:10.051+00:00That's a good idea.

If I do wear one it is loosely tied around my neck as otherwise I feel that I'm being strangled, even gave up on polo neck jumpers for that reason.<br /><br />Joan (Wales)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-27674604030442116862016-11-11T12:14:44.530+00:002016-11-11T12:14:44.530+00:00I am they same Ilona, I am not just going to flick...I am they same Ilona, I am not just going to flick the switch and put the heating on, most of the time it is just my neck so I do the same as you xSimple Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884864661226371141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-55380998674372145002016-11-11T09:35:19.526+00:002016-11-11T09:35:19.526+00:00Great idea...thanks!Great idea...thanks!ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-32265573169314444452016-11-11T08:56:21.398+00:002016-11-11T08:56:21.398+00:00Brilliant pattern!

I've looked for a newer version (i wear my stuff until it literally falls apart) but evidently as people have central heating in their houses nowadays (i've been informed) there is no need for such thick garments. I have wyncyette nightgowns too (same futile search). Where I live, charity shops do not have anything for 50 pence - there is not much difference between purchasing second hand and purchasing from a charity shop.

Ones that once sold for $20-$30 are available for $1. I've been using them for everything from window dressings, to table runners and now back to scarves.

I bought a child's pink scarf with fringe. I wear this all day in the house. It is short and won't hang all over whatever I am doing--brushing teeth, cooking, eating, etc. Plus the ends are short enough I can stuff them in the top of my sweatshirt.<br />pparsimonyLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.com
