McCall's Pattern #M5970 is for a great Snuggy with arms that I made for my daughter and her little girl. I used non-pill fleece. It's easy. to sew, is unlined and has an optional pocket on the inside of the front for you to slip your feet in for extra warmth. You don't need any binding and no extra notions. Yoy might want to put a button on the back so it doesn't fall off the shoulders with movement. I think she would like it. They are so warm and cozy and the fabric is so much nicer than what comes in the kits you can get. When Joann's has patterns on sale, you can get it for $2. The fleece is usually always on sale for 40% & 50% off. Good Luck!
