They are not that hard to make. I made 3 this summer. When I ran out of denim that I had been saving I went to Goodwill on their 1/2 price denim day and bought what I needed. They turned out really nice. I gave 2 to my son's teachers. His teachers camp alot and I wanted to give them something they would use. I tied them, and used a very thin batting. They will be heavy but they are warm.
