They both have 2 layers of fleece, old remnants I had just laying around. Luckily there are two of them, so the baby can wear one while I wash the other. Fleece and straw probably don't go together too well... Actually, they probably DO stick together too well. I reinforced the belly strap with denim because it doesn't stretch. I think I did alright, for someone who doesn't sew...
Oh, and in case you think I'm prejudiced toward a colt because of the blue, I used all pink thread on both! Not on purpose really, but it's what my daughter had on her sewing machine. Man, I'm lame. I know. I just can't help it...
It's the warmth that they will provide that counts....
ReplyDeleteI love it !!! LOL I have seen people use old t-shirts or sweat shirts and that works too.of course after several days they are a little hard to change. I prefer anything with velcro . But baby will not freeze anyway. Doris
ReplyDeleteYou will be surprised at how much hair that little thing is born with. I have some large dog coats (with velcro) that I use for the foals when they are first born. I also have an actual pattern for making foal blankets. You basically did exactly like the patterns I have. Good job!
