    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)?

    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.
