baby mittens

I've concluded that baby mittens you buy in stores ar a joke. They are super short, super thin and can generally be removed by a baby in about 5 seconds. So (or sew) waterproof/windproof fleece was 50% off the other day and I got some to make some real baby mittens. the kind that basically go up to the baby's armpit lol. I'm trying them out in our -40 weather today. Next out of this fabric will be car/stroller blankets for the boys and a pair of mittens for Brodie, his will be slightly trickier because his will need thumbs ;) . M
