    Climashield scrap ideas

    I have a 22"x90" piece of 3.3oz Climashield.

    What would you make?

    PS. I have plenty of UQs.

    A pillow? A hat? Mittens? Booties? Just some suggestions. Maybe you don't have enough for any of that..?

    I have about the same amount of 3.3 oz climashield and was thinking about an insulated vest.

    Send it to your friend in San Diego... if you don't have one, I'd make a good substitute.

    That area would make a perfect kid-sized UQ.


    Pillow, insulated booties (I have cold feet-literally), insulated beanie?

    Oooh: Insulated sleeves.. like JRB's down ones... a good multi-use item...

    How about a "torso heater" like Mac's IX underquilts? Maybe use sticky-back velcro to place it, and just make a rectangular shell for it.
    I'll have some scraps soon and plan on making another set of booties.

    I thought about the booties. Interestingly, didn't think about the mittens. Those are good ideas. So's the hat, but I don't see me wearing more than my balaclava and fleece watch cap. Thought about a vest, but I have a down jacket already so that seems like underkill.

    Thanks for the ideas so far.
