PJ's and Another Fleece Idea

I have been doing good today. M took the kids to the pool this afternoon. I had 4 hours just to myself! Yes, I had to do some house cleaning but I was also able to trace a PJ pattern (Simplicity 3935) and a hooded sweater (Farbenmix Yorik), cut out two PJ bottoms, a PJ top, and a hooded sweater. I didn't read the general instruction pamphlet which turned out to be a huge (quite literally!) mistake. I didn't realize that the seam allowance was already included. So I added another 5/8". The pattern also has a ton of ease. So add that on top of my "extra" seam allowance and the PJ top is 2 sizes too large. I am too lazy too fix it and it's wearable. Why fuss with something that I only wear to bed. It will be better with my next PJ top though since I will cut it out correctly :-) I adjusted the seam allowance for the PJ bottoms and they turned out almost perfect. I will try to make a photo of them and post it on here.

I also came up with another idea for my small fleece remnants. I love scarves and the feeling of warmth they give me. However they aren't always practical because the ends flop this and that way. So I thought that it would be nice to have something smaller  that kind a hugs the neck without the ends. I love it so much that I can see myself making tons of it.

Essentially it is just a long rectangle of fleece. Both long sides were turned to the left side and sewn down. Then I sewed the two short sides together and I had a tube. Place it around your neck and you'll be warm all day long...
