Saw on one of the farmgirl's blogs that she was looking for snowpants. Found this idea today blog-hopping. Now, I realize that this pattern/tutorial is for snowpants for a little one, but I'm also thinking they can be adapted using a grown-up size pattern and appropriate amounts of fabric. Just thought I'd share.

I love it! I have been curious of what to do with all my insule-brite. Of course the only person in our home that needs snow pants is me... but I love this idea because my DD will need them for next year.

Side thought now, I wonder if I can use my DH to draft a pattern for mine. We love bibs over snow pants.

Thanks for the link, totally pinning it now.

Random thought:
Could you measure for a bib by using an apron as a template? It might at least be a starting point for measurements - maybe an inch wider or two inches longer, etc.

What a great idea!
