I enjoyed your tutorial but was puzzled why you did not use your rotary cutter to do the leg openings and the slash for the safety belt. I watched as you struggled with the scissors and fleece and I know how easy it would have been to use the rotary. The various sizes give you such easier cutting! Plus you could then use the circles you cut out to applque on as 'flowers' just by sewing a circle in the middle or something else. Keep up the good work.

I have made several of these in the quilted version, but this looks so much simplier. Can't wait to try it.

Hope you like make it. I, too have used patterns and more complex designs and I prefer this way because it saves time and still gets the job done. :o)

I am a sewer from way back, use to make all of my 4 children clothes, they are now young adults. No grandbabies on the horizon yet! Looks like I will be making a few of these to put away for a rainy day :))) Your beautiful project has given me the incentive to go out and buy a sewing machine while we are living overseas. I never had a reason to get one before! You presented your tutorial at a pace that was easy to follow, I look forward to seeing what else you have in store on the Mondays. Thanks for sharing Vanessa.
