Here's my newest obsession - fleece handwarmers. This is my pair, so there is no worries about anyone seeing their Christmas present on my blog. There is a hilarious hat I conjured up to go with it - but will need to get the husband up to help take that pic. (he's still asleep and my hair isn't done yet anyway)
I love the cute little snowflake stitch I put along the cuff - my new sewing machine is amazing!
Here's my fleece hat in the works (for a certain 6-7 year old I know) - will possibly add eyes and a decorative stitch along the brim.
Speaking of hats, I know the kind of hat I want to make but can't find the pattern anywhere. Here's the pics of the hats, anyone have any ideas where I can find it??
I know I just could just wing it by looking at the pic - but I'm not very good at sewing quite yet and need all the help, instructions, tutorials and patterns I can get.
And while I'm at it here's another I want to make - any ideas??

When I was a kid and my mom used to sew stuff she'd run across stuff once in awhile that didn't have a pattern for. She one time took apart (with a seam ripper, then iron the shit out of the pieces so they are as flat as possible) our chair pads on our kitchen chairs (they were a very special shape and size. Then she used the shapes to draw a pattern on paper so she had it to re-use if she wanted to make again. Maybe that helps you. You could hit Target, Walmart or thrift stores for fleece hats. I see old worn out ones at Salvation Army that are really cute OR maybe you can find a new one, although I'd hate to rip up a brand new hat myself though it would probably be the same price as the pattern. Good luck! I am going today or tomorrow, I'll keep my eyes peeled for you, they are usually pretty cheap :)
I love the handwarmers! I've been scouring etsy for ones I like to put on my wishlist, but I haven't seen any like yours.
Love the handwarmers!
I love the hand warmers! I don't sew or anything like that. I am always amazed when I see the cool stuff people make! I want some!!!

Aw, thanks guys! I am so excited you all like the handwarmers - so much so that I think they would make the PERFECT item for my first giveaway! Will be in the works soon - hush hush! :)
