teach me how to snuggie, teach-teach me how to snuggie

over the weekend, i realized that i had been running around since Wednesday with Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease. for those of you who don't know what it is, i can tell you since i am a webmd expert on it now. it is a virus that typically only young children get. it presents itself much like a cold at first, then little PAINFUL bumps that look like blisters form on your hands and feet and canker sores form in your mouth. and they hurt, like to hold the steering wheel, walk, write, eat. hurts. everything. no fun. anyways, according to Dr. Sears,  i am no longer contagious which is AWESOME.

regardless, i had to cancel a few babysitting jobs, like one last night. this resulted in me making my way up to JoAnn fabrics for a 50% off fleece sale. i purchased almost 4 yards of No-Pill fleece for just over 20$. last night i started transforming it into a new, soft, high quality snuggie. this snuggie is deluxe. it has a pocket and the print it adorable. wanna see? well. duh.

making it was pretty simple, i used my old snuggie for all the guestimates. probably the trickiest part was that the sleeve holes and the sleeved didn't meet up perfectly, but that just meant some bunching so it wasn't a big deal.

now i have a nice, new, cute, soft snuggie to wrap up in. i'm hoping to start making baby blankets soon for all the ladies i know that are pregnant. i'm totally planning on hitting up all the fabric sales i can get to make them.
