With other words a fab. sewed and designed coat for your hubby. With the leftovers you could make, like suggested earlier, make a hat, or a sleeve. (Personally I would rake a fork over the stitchline so that the hairs would come up from under the yarn. In that way you won't see a connection)Francoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175093223015534241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-32982127178517643052020-11-06T09:39:15.319-05:002020-11-06T09:39:15.319-05:00Make him a Karakul hat from the scraps?

I suppose cushion covers can be made from scraps or cuddly toys - or donate to a local school.

MY dogs like those snuggy beds that have a padded bottom and then an opening in the side so they can slide into and snuggle nice and warm. Here are a couple of examples. <br />https://www.wish.com/product/59aa77432382706325369d2e?hide_login_modal=true&from_ad=goog_shopping&_display_country_code=US&_force_currency_code=USD&pid=googleadwords_int&c=%7BcampaignId%7D&ad_cid=59aa77432382706325369d2e&ad_cc=US&ad_curr=USD&ad_price=5.00&fallback_cids=5bbd6c87e9a4052ca5a80f40&campaign_id=7203534630&gclid=CjwKCAiAnIT9BRAmEiwANaoE1ScKWwQhu4eniTauadlCKm7-EL3EfUkqcDzTbzCJ2Mu8HwE6Q9ag1RoCWUoQAvD_BwE&share=web<br /><br />https://www.wayfair.com/pet/pdp/tucker-murphy-pet-iowa-vegan-leather-deep-dish-cave-hooded-dog-bed-w002620587.html<br /><br />https://snoozerpetproducts.com/product/snoozer-orthopedic-cozy-cave-pet-bed-p-264/?dfw_tracker=34046-87700&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google-shopping_high-priority&gclid=CjwKCAiAnIT9BRAmEiwANaoE1VMZTpblmipE-7g9xzJFrXQN6jIsgM9hP3b-_iwM3LSmi3bjhLxLLRoCvpsQAvD_BwE<br /><br />My cats like the open ones too, so it is a win either way at my house for these types of beds. <br /><br />I hope that idea helps you.

That pattern is one of the first I ever bought and made up- I made it in a soft brushed brown denim, and wore it [well it was the seventies] to the charity premiere of Star Wars! I wore it for lounging round the house for many years, until post-baby bust increases made it too tight. I later made the man's version for my dad, who wore it for YEARS [I think it retired in the 90s] Memory lane or what?DementedFairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849506916345114927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-65451823892591749302020-11-03T10:29:24.864-05:002020-11-03T10:29:24.864-05:00I love it, you always make me smile and your sewin...I love it, you always make me smile and your sewing skills are just...over the moon...great.

And the color is very flattering on Michael. :)<br /><br />I think the caftan pattern was a good starting point for the coat; the fewer seams in fake fur, the better.
