Charlie and I made this as a quick gift for my mother's birthday from a free pattern (PDF) by Heather Bailey.
It was a wildly successful collaboration. He chose the fabrics from my scrap basket — not with any particular finesse, it must be said, but simply the ones nearest the top — and did the precision cutting.
I did the sewing, with Charlie standing next to my sewing machine and acting as coach. "Slow down! You're getting near the corner!"
I stuffed and he proudly displayed the results of phase I.
Phase II, tufting with the ribbon and sewing on the buttons, I did on the sneak when he wasn't around. Sorry, kid, you're not much help when it comes to hand sewing, especially not when it involves a doll-making needle as long as your femur.
Quick cute present. Highly recommended even if you don't have such an able assistant.
It makes me wish I knew how to read that pattern (sure, I knew what the words meant, but they just didn't make any sense all stringed together like that).

I came hoping for photos of the Snuggie. Now, I am sad that there are no Snuggie photos. Tomorrow is another day. (And I really hope it's a pirate fabric blanket that you wear, because that would just be awesome.)

One acknowledges that men's life is high priced, however people require cash for various stuff and not every person gets enough money. Thence to receive fast home loans and commercial loan will be a proper solution.
