How about a pattern for car seat ponchos (slip over baby’s head so they don’t have to wear bulky outer clothes in winter)?
Hello Colleen,
That’s a great idea! There is a car seat cover video on NationalSewingCircle.com. It has a slightly different construction than a poncho-style, but serves the same purpose. Check it out here:

I am new to the circle I have so many projects and watching all the other people things because I am teachymy self how to sew so I am learning from you guys happy new year
Those are some nice and simple ideas. I like all of them and am sure they would be completed in a single afternoon.
check out the fleece fabrics .Lightweight Fleece is very easy to work with. No serger required !cute prints for boys ( which are hard to find nice prints for little boys )Think a little pullover jacket with or without hood and hats made out of fleece.The favorite thing made for my 3 year old many years ago was a bathrobe out of cotton terry cloth with pockets. Also the towels that pop over the head with a hood very cute and practical for summer if your grandson will have wading pool. Have fun sewing for your grandson!

I had subscribed last year at a discounted price to get the videos. Most times when I tried to view them, it didn’t work. I finally got fed up and unsubscribed. I then asked for a refund.
