I think it is actually called a "log carrier" and for some reason I think I recently saw directions on the internet somewhere?

The dh LOVES those flannel sleep pants, and he is tall so they are usually not long enough. Thanks for the suggestion, I need to hunt down the pattern.

. I have seen that you can purchase special thread that smart phones/iPads etc accept. Last year when I looked into buying some I was very expensive - wonder if the price has gone down cuz then all you need is a few stitches in the pointer fingers. I have the totes brand of this.

Don't forget to add a couple of little pockets so he can put some hand (butt) warmers in it. He'll get the humor then! LOL
