My take on the snuggie...

So I was sitting with my youngest son watching t.v. this morning (does that hardly ever happen?!) and the "snuggie" commercial came on. It got wheels a turning in this brain of mine and off to the sewing machine I went. I figured it couldn't be too hard to make one and that could be another Christmas present for the kiddo and if it didn't turn out right, I could just throw it away. After a few mistakes due to sizing circles not being my forte, here we have my take on the "snuggie". My son loves it and it fits nicely.
The arms are big enough for him and it is just long enough so he doesn't trip when he walks (cause he does enough of that on his own, take a look at the broken arm).
For the edges, I just cut it to make it fringe since me and fleece don't get along all that well and hemming it doesn't ever turn out right for me. I was thinking of some little something to go on the back to fasten it but maybe I won't do that. When you sit in one of these things, your back is generally next to something so I don't think its needed.

Great job! This commercial cracks me up! I mean someone actually is making a ton of money for designing a backwards robe!!! Why didn't I think of that!

I've wondered about this on the commercial. Your solution is the best. Great work!
