Warm Fuzzy Bag

I love to camp!! But sometimes I get so cold at night, then I remembered something that I was given when I was younger. Some awesome leaders that I had gave me a bag with a bottle in it that we would  fill up with hot water and put it at the bottom of our sleeping bag and it would keep us warm all night long!
So I decided to make some for my self and for the other craft leaders who worked with me at girls camp.

This is what I did... 
I got some fleece

and some medical bottles

I cut the fleece into 10x13 inch pieces and folded them in half the long way

I surged the two sides

Then folded over the top and sewed it to make a place for the string to go.


I cut two cuts into the tube for the string to go into and tie at.




 So you just put hot water in your bottle and put it at the bottom of your sleeping bag and the fleece keeps it warm longer.

When I gave it to the women at camp I had a little description tag with it that said

"There once was a village that was full of kindness love and compassion. Each member of the village owned a special bag filled with warm fuzzies. The people in the village gave each other warm fuzzies any time the wanted to let someone know they were loved. This is my warm fuzzy to you to let you know that you are loved.
Fill your bottle with warm water and put it in your warm fuzzy bag at the bottom of your sleeping bag. As you are warm in your bed, think of way you can let others know they are loved too."

I got the idea from this blog.

Car Sear Cover

 My sister-in-law is going to have a baby girl in September and I wanted to make her something that she could use for the baby. I found this tutorial here.

It was super simple and it turned out pretty cute. I hope she like it.
