Re: MacDuff's Fleece WRAP...

MacDUFF · ‎05-29-2015

Thanks. I like plaids, but in small doses . What I love about this wrap is how easy it is and how warm. It's funny you mention Joannes...the one closest to me closed...next closest isn't very. They just don't have as many great plaids as they used to have, and I don't have any other close choices. I was "lucky" to find these two plaids. Let me know how it works out for you, luv, and would love to see a picture of the finished product!

That would be fun, EC! I think these make great gifts, too, especially if you whipstitch the edge. I made a solid pink one for my Mom...she used it so much that she wanted another one for her lap/legs (wheelchair bound near the end of her life). She passed away before I could do it, but I thought of making a long one...iow, starting with a much longer piece (maybe 4 or 5 yards?) and making it so it would cover her back, go around her neck, and the front flaps would fall long enough to cover her lap and legs.

But, yeah, you can use whatever prints or solids you love. I mostly wear mine as outerwear, but do wear them around the house to take away the chill, too.

Really a great idea and your pictures with directions were perfect!

Ok I will try to post a pic when I am done. Hoping to get out this weekend for the fabric. My heart is set on plaid, but I'm sure I will find something that appeals to me.

I like to wear them slightly off centered and the front "flaps" thrown over my shoulders...it looks cute thrown over shoulder or not. Are you clever and crafty? A whipstitch all around the edges looks great...I will probably be too lazy to do that . A piped edge would be easy to sew, too. This one cost me $6 and 15 minutes of cutting and adjusting.
