I had already been out shopping and pricing the fabrics for Kyle’s gift – a “Snuggie.” I have already bought the pattern for it, I just need to acquire the fabric. A lot of people will think that I am crazy for buying a pattern for this when there are instructions on how to make this wearable blanket on the internet readily available, but in all honesty I am being lazy. The pattern was down right cheap too as it was on sale. The amount of fabric that I need, however, does not change regardless of where I get the instructions. It calls for a lot of fabric. That being said, I have already been out and priced the fabric out. I knew today would be a good day to buy because instead of it being 50% off it was going to be 60% off.
In actuality when I got back to the store it was on sale for $3.99 instead of 60% off. That was actually a better deal because the fleece I picked out was a little bit more expensive and it would have been a little bit more than $3.99 had it simply been marked down 60% off. Either way I would have bought it because Kyle’s request was a simple one, he wanted a “red Snuggie.” It does not get any more specific than that. So red fleece is what I bought. I got the nicer feeling stuff for $3.99 so I cannot complain. I even was nice to the lady that was cutting the fabric and bought the last half yard on the bolt. I am going to put a foot pocket on his and he requested a nice large hand pouch on the front so I would need a little extra fabric for that. I rounded the required yardage up to 5.5 yards. When there was only another half yard remaining on the bolt I told her to give me what was left.
