I need to know the moose(s?) are going to be standing up, not appearing to be lying down and playing dead on my new jacket. And I get very nervous when I see things described as "Fashion Must Haves".

Speaking as a mother with older children now, I would guess that she re-purposed her own kids' baby/toddler blankets. Cut them in half the long way, sew them together as a poncho, and there you go. It would also explain how she managed to sell out (she ran out of blankets). It's better than thinking she went to a craft store and purposely bought those patterns, right?

But then after I thought about it, if there was a "wedding bell" motif, I have a friend getting married..it WOULD make a great gift for the honeymoon night!!

Poncho price....$15.00 listing fee.....$00.20 transaction fee $00.56 paypal fee......$00.44 ---------------------- total earned....$13.80 Price of fleece at Joanns right now: $7.99 (on sale) to $12.99 a yard. Plain colors are less, and clearance crappy fleece is less. Even if she used a 40% off coupon, its $7.79 a yard. (I am so stalling on getting to work this morning, that yes, i actually figured all of that out) She is paying people to buy her ponchos. I would have charged $30-50, just because of the fabric cost and time. Not that I would have made these to sell mind you (or made them at all), just saying. If you are going to take the time to make something, and sell it, then for god's sake as least get some money for it!

These are as bad as Snuggies. I cringe to think that there are people (who actually paid for, or worse were gifted) wearing these. Maybe right now!

But frankly, at that stage, you're probably too big to leave the house. Of course, if you're wearing one of these babies, you SHOULDN'T leave the house. Or the institution.

Also, if your name starts with "D", I gather it's only logical to use that + "Designs" as your brand name. Shop banner says she’s “fleec-ing the world”
