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.

You can find a pattern in the pattern books. I've seen them but don't remember which book.

I use one of those and LOVE it. The one I've got is a nylon/plastic thing - probably $5 at Lowe's, but it's ripping at the handles and seams. Canvas is an inspired idea - much more durable...

I'm in the same boat with one of my sons in law. Fleece socks is on the menu for him.

. 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
