Someone actually asked me if I had a pattern for a Snuggie.

Um, no.

Seems like the pattern for any long robe would work, even better than the Snuggie.

I'm wearing my Snuggie right now. It's much better than trying to use a quilt. Nothing could work better to keep me warm when I'm sitting on my computer chair and typing.

Their ad may be a joke, but the product works.

Like I said, how about a long, heavy robe?

It'd stay on better, with fewer drafts, when you get up from your chair.

Worn backwards? The problem with wearing a robe the regular way when you sit is that your back and butt are warmer than your front - well mine are anyway.

Having the Snuggie open in the back is the most stupid thing about it, IMHO. Don't you use the belt to tie you robe closed?

I either wear my pjs with a robe or my clothes with an oversized fleece jacket around the house. The Snuggie looks too voluminous for me.

I did forward the video to my son. I think his classmates would enjoy it!
