With the deep freeze and blanket ingredients snow many of us are facing in the coming days, I propose a fun distraction with a Snow Sewing Challenge:
Fleece Blanket Challenge
Step 1 – Grab an inexpensive blanket while you are out sticking up on milk & batteries.
Step 2 – Pick a period pattern from any era in history.
Step 3 – Make the garment or accessory using the fleece blanket.
This challenge is meant to be a bit of fun in the depths of winter. This can also be a way of making a functional garment to stay warm.
Of course, I would love to see some fleece versions of my winter hoods. Other ideas could include: a fleece waist, fleece petticoat, fleece mantle, fleece drawers.
If I Had My Own Blue Box: 
I picked up several clearance blankets after Christmas with plans to make pj’s pants for whole family. ( We won’t be celebrating our Xmas till Jan 31st) Guess I know what to sew this weekend! 😘
I have a bunch of fleece fabric sitting around, one of which I was planning on making a cape with. This seems like a good use of fabric, I like to practice making things before I use my good fabric.
