Here is the shawl I made

I was pretty happy with the way it came out and the roomie loves it! And, in the end, isn't that what its all about, the person you make it for loving it?

It certainly is! The person loving the gift you made for them is definitely a bonus!

Yes, it is.

it was pretty easy, but it would cost about $50 for one that size and type, could make it less expensively, but it would still be more than one of those "snuggies" but, it wouldn't be open in the back like they are I think $20 would be the least I could go and that wouldn't have the cute kitty print Mine is only one layer (the kitty one) and it was $20 for about a foot less and only measuring and cutting.

Certainly very resourceful.. You can try to sell it online, or I think you already have..?

its for the roomie and that's her modeling it, but she is really happy with it, and we can just hope it'll be cold enough again so she can use it this winter!

we got in from running around and I had a bit of a chill, so I was wearing mine for a bit. Warmed up now, but it sure did feel good when I needed it!

I know what you mean, I don't mind cartoony, but really like the real looking stuff!

but then you have to buy table space and that's money and if you don't sell any... well, your out both the material and the table kitties and purple, the roomie's favorites (mind you she's totally color blind, but likes the word purple...)

Yes I guess the only way it would be worth it, is if you have a lot of product. I have never looked into it, as I have only made 1 thing from scratch and if you have to buy the kits or materials, you would have to charge too much to make any profit! As long as she likes what she sees in her mind that's all that matters. My favorite color is probably purple also, both the color and the word.

It was really easy, the hardest thing was to get the two pieces of fabric to lay flat together!

it is a cute pattern (the back is upside down... and while I didn't design it, I didn't have an actual pattern either I took a shawl she had that she likes, but is a bit too light weight and made this, but she wanted it double layered, so I had to sew it up, then turn it right sides out and finish it, so I also had to know how to do that (and match up 2 fabrics that really didn't want to be together... they were trying to wrinkle but they ended up flat in the end!) Now, I made one like it, but only with the cute kitties fleece so it was a simple cutting job...

Its not really a gift, she bought the fabric, even the threads, but I did the work - she also got me enough of the kitty fleece to make one for me - mine didn't have to be as heavy tho, my room isn't as cold as the one she works in

I'm just a crafting fool lately!

the fleece came with the kitties, but that was the lighter weight fleece, so we lined it & made it reversible with the heavier purple fleece...

if you check out some of the wreath pix, you can see the inside of the shawl with the purple showing I'd upload the pix but the computer isn't letting me at the moment....

I was wondering when someone would mention that! I also knew the roomie didn't want her face to be seen!
