Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Sure Diane. Heck, you can be me this year and think of something. LOL Something will come to me after next week. Right now I'm bogged down with studying for my chemistry final on the 18th and really can't think of anything right now. If you have any suggestions, feel free!!!! Regina ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Not only do they feel very special receiving them, but you are giving them an example of love that will be with them the rest of their lives. You are an amazing mother/woman. I'd love to hear what you come up with this year. May I live vicariously through you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Regina, I was in Joanns yesterday and they had an easy fleece throw blanket. You can buy their pre-packaged kits or pick your own fleece. You start w/two coordinating pieces of fabric approximately 60 " long (or however long you'd like a throw blanket. You cut the border all the way around inward towards the middle in approx. 3/4 - 1 " strips on both pieces of fabric. Put wrong sides together and tie the top piece to the bottom and you are done. It creates a cute throw blanket with fringe. Most fabric stores in our area have examples. A woman there told me you can also make a pillow the same way--no sew. It may be too easy for a vetran like you. Just a suggestion. Actually, I got the fabric for a gift for my 11 year old to do by herself. Good luck on you exams. Now I am really impressed that you do this AND go to school. Thanks, Diane LAP RNY 9/99 > Sure Diane. Heck, you can be me this year and think of something.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Diane/Regina, I do something simular, only you do have to sew, but it's really quick and my boys loved them. I would take two pieces of fake fur (short nap) of the same size. Put them together face to face. Sew up three sides and part of the 4th. Turn inside out through the hole and sew up the opening. I then topstiched around the outside. So warm and cuddly! Had to make two at a time or they would fight for them! Just to keep this on topic, LOL, they come in really handy when this old body of mine gets cold, which is often since I lost 200 lbs!

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Hey Reba, Thanks for the idea. My kids will love that idea too as I can see them playing on the floor with it too. I think that will be a great beginning sewing machine project for them. Thanks a lot. Oh, and congrats on such great weight loss.
