• Dec. 4, 2008 - A Homemade Christmas- Snuggly Wrap

This week I am sharing the EASIEST gift you could make!!!!! It took longer to stand at the cutting line at the store and pay for this than it did to make. This is a warm, snuggly wrap.  We had to think of the best name for this- shawl, cape, cloak or wrap.  After reading the following definition of wrap we decided it was a wrap.  You can decide which definition best suits here. wrap: noun:   cloak that is folded or wrapped around a person noun:   a sandwich in which the filling is rolled up in a soft tortilla   Directions: Take a length of Blizzard fleece (this kind is so soft) folded in half, selvage to selvage and measure it from the tip of the nose to the floor of who you are making this for. If it is a surprise just measure it against yourself. Mark where it touched the ground and then cut straight across. Fold the still folded fleece in half length wise and cut along the folded edge up to the middle point.  Make sure you are just cutting one layer just to the middle.  If you opened it flat it would look like the above detailed illustration on the left.   And if getting ready to be put on it would look like the detailed illustration on the right.  Cut off the selvage edges so that it has a nice straight edge on both sides.  Visit Simply Vintagegirl to read more Homemade Christmas ideas.   thanks to Breezy Tulip for my detailed illustrations. and thanks to Emily Rose for being my lovely model.
