Here is the link to the original snuggie:

Has anyone purchased this item? Could anyone figure out how to make one?
thanks,
Erika

I'd love to know that too. I totally want one of those, but my Dh laughed at me.

I found this. I'm not sure if it would be better than my fleece robe though. I'd be tempted to put in a foot pocket.

I don't know if this is nationwide, but I think it is -- I was in Hancock's yesterday, and so much was 50 to 60% off, including lots of fleece.

The reason I want to make one is I want that ultra soft micro fleece that feels like cashmere

Weirdly, my dd was talking about these tonight. She's 16!! She said she thought they looked neat so what the heck, for 3 yards of fleece I'm going to make her one for Christmas. I would never even have known what she was talking about without this post so thanks.

A friend of mine received something similair to this years and years ago for Christmas. I only remember because she raved about it so much! And it was a homemade one, too. Basically, whoever made it, folded over a huge rectangle of fleece. On the folded section they sewed in a turtleneck piece. If I remember correctly, they left holes to get your hands out on the tops of the sides, then the rest of the sides were tied together (like the fleece no sew blankets). Then they left the bottom open but added buttons. So you could get up and walk around, or if you were sitting, you could button them up.

Hopefully that makes sense to someone. I don't think I can explain it any better without diagrams and visual aids!

Kind of like a poncho?
