Step 1: Materials

How much fleece you need is going to depend on the size of your kid!  The length is up to you, and if you want it to wrap around their feet while they're on the couch, or if it should be shorter for them to run and play in.  Once you've determined that length, add the length you want for the sleeves, and about 9" (23cm) for the cowl.

These particular snuggies used 2 yds (1.8m) of 60" (152cm) wide fleece each.  Any width of fleece will work - it just affects how much the finished snuggie will wrap around the child.

You'll also need a measuring device, some chalk or disappearing ink pen, a pair of scissors and some thread. 

I decided to use contrasting thread and the Singer  serger to flatlock the seams together (more on that in Step 4!).  You could use matching thread and a sewing machine, or sew by hand.  The choice is yours!

I think it would have been much more helpful to explain where the 24" is being cut from--length or width. It took a few minutes to figure out where I was cutting. The oval pattern piece was difficult as well, in the pictures it looks like a circle, leaving me very confused. Overall, the instructions could have been more precise.

your stitches look very neat, I have never used this flat stitch that you are showing. question....do you have any secrets for setting the tension disc for a serger? mine stitches about 6 inches then skips 3 stitches resumes serging, then skips approx 1/2 inch. regardless to say, this is most frustrating and leaves a very jagged edge on the project.
t he repair shop charges $75 to analize before telling me what might be wrong.
I have changed needles, rethreaded the machine plus have new upper & lower knives.
