When I was young, my Mom used to hand me the Sears or Montgomery Ward catalog, have me point to a dress I like, and then when I woke up in the morning, she'd have made it in whatever fabric she had spare... No patterns, no anything.

But when fabric got more expensive, an outlet mall opened nearby, and she started working, she didn't really bother to sew much anymore...

And as I get older, there's less that my Mom can do for me or that I need her to do for me - so things like this make her really happy, she's helping me make something for something I like doing, even if she doesn't understand why I'm doing it. She knows I know how to sew, because she taught me how to when I was young - and I'd have never asked her to make them for me, she just got excited, and started making them for me.

I took pictures of the inside of the warmers, but I've been a bum and haven't gotten them off the camera yet. Tonight maybe.
