Directions

The first step is to select your fabric. When picking a fabric, you want to consider the following:

  • Is the pattern on the fabric going to work, or look out of place? If you are going Snuggie style, will you need to add extra fabric for the arms?
  • On what level of awesome is the fabric you are selecting? Meaning, how fast are you going to get sick of looking at it?
  • Is the fabric thick, cozy, and going to keep the rest of your body warm? Sheer, light fabrics don't help to keep you warm during the winter months.

For the example in the video, extra fabric and button snaps were sewn on the back of the blanket for easy removal for washing.
