I took a class on how to make one of these. I had seen one completed at the local quilt show in March & just had to find out how to make one. I had to get 7 to 9 large sweatshirts. I went to several resale shops & garage sales. Do you know hard it is to find sweatshirts in Las Vegas in the summer, let alone ones that the colors match, especially when the temp here hasn't been under 100 for about 3 mos? LOL
I got lucky I guess.
I had to cut 2" strips with a pinking blade. That took me forever. I used upholstery fabric for the back. I sewed them on. Sounds simple huh?
This was not as easy as it sounds. I am so relieved it's finished. I don't want to make another one for a while.
It's very soft, going to be great for stepping out of the shower. It's machine washable and it measures 33 x 23
