These would make great fundraising items to sell at the coach's night games 🏈 😉

I would love to make this! What type of fleece do you recommend to make this? Do I use a ballpoint needle? I’ve never purchased fleece or sewed with it.

Hi there ✌️I started my first fleece project with these cheap throws from Ikea or 5below, the fabric is a bit thin but you could double up and make a lined version (it's easily accessible, inexpensive and not as frustrating to work with as the super fluffy fleece you can get). I usually just use my regular 'universal' needles, ballpoint only for suuuuper stretchy fleece (the one with the knit-like fabric on the back for example) but switch regularly as fleece dulls everything it touches real fast aka don't use your fancy scissors to cut please 🙏🤣 hope this helps, happy sewing! 🤗

Brilliant! Do you have a child size version of this?

You’d adjust the measurements based on the child’s height, as explained in the video.
When you folded the sample and said you cut 2” down and 4” across, it’s confusing. You cut a circle. Does that mean after the fabric is opened up, it measures 4” across- diameter of circle?

Nope, I cut an oval. There's a diagram in the post linked in the description that may help you visualize.
