So, for the chick who I never know what to give, I started out making clothes, but then found a need for warmth, so I made a polar fleece bag blanket, with a D ring strap
Blankie Bag in use... other side is Brown---Sew wrong sides together and then right sides together so you have French seams inside... Fold down the top 2-3 inches to give nice soft blanket edge at top.... Make a strap out of the same fabric strip and sew one end on 2 D Rings and fold the other end to a point.
Wrap and Strap.
Pardon the wrinkles, but remember I only have a small space, so I don't have a place for an ironing board to be up all the time. I am blogging in the middle of the night as I sew things. This pic shows you the detail on the pockets and the cuffs sewn on the sleeves.
Here, you can see you attach the hood and then you do a top stitch around the seam below the hood attachment. I did this after I had sewn the regular seam and did an overcast and trimmed-then I did the topstitching. It makes the hood lay nice. The zipper is an invisible zipper and I figure that little sway will be gone once she has her body in it...
All done, I figure she is going to sleep in it anyway, but I probably will do a little ironing on the sleeves where I see some wrinkles...
OOOPS! What is wrong with this picture?
LOOK at the pockets.... ARGHH
I like the sweatshirt gray cuffs on the sleeves ad legs. The red one will be the same except a larger size.
Done.... and leftover of the Red for the Large size made a scarf..
How did I fix them... I made a bigger pocket put over the first one and now the Red onsies have a double pocket ... the smaller one inside the bigger one...
And.... His and Her Onsies out of Polar fleece, hope they fit... another not so simple thing that I probably could have made a dozen outfits for myself... Something for them, an infinity scarf for me.... something for them, an infinity scarf for me... dah dah... then I will make the blouses and pants and jackets that match my scarves.... LATER
