A perfect project for your charitable group. Our wrap makes a wonderful gift for hospital patients or nursing home residents.   Adjust the length to accommodate height of the recipient (finished length approx 66”).   Ziggy & Patch are always willing to test our projects! Our boys just love curling up in their Comfort Wrap… Stitch up our quick Comfort Wrap for yourself and all your friends. Makes a perfect gift for a reader…room in the pockets for a book, glasses, tissue etc.
Supplies: 2 ½ yards fleece (depending on the width of your fleece, you should have enough to make 2 or 3 wraps) 1 yd ball-fringe trim (or trim of your choice) 1 yd wide rickrack (optional) Wave rotary cutter Ruler Pins
Let’s Get Started: 1. Cut a piece of fleece lengthwise on fabric to measure 24” x 90”.
2. With right sides together, fold up 2” along each short end to form a cuff.
3. Tuck ball trim under edge and stitch in place (or use any trim of your choice).
OPTIONAL: Sew rickrack along cuff 1/2” above the edge/ball trim.
4. On each narrow end, with wrong sides together, fold up 10” for pockets. Pin in place.
5. Measure 6” in from each edge and pin through both fabric layers along this line to create 3 pockets on each end of the wrap.
6. Stitch through both fabric layers to form pockets. Sew sides of pockets 1 ¼’ from edge to leave room for trimming in the final step.
7. Using a wave rotary cutter or pinking shears, trim long outside edges, cutting off one inch on each edge. Trim through both layers on pockets (3 layers on cuff).
