[QUOTE=kolleen9;13055007]If you're handy with a sewing machine then making the hats, scarves, throws would be good as gifts. It will save you bux next holiday time. If you don't have enough people in your gift-giving for hats etc, Simplicity has a free lounge pant pattern on their Sewing Class 101 website that would take up a few yards and would make a great gift. The pattern fits teens to adults.
There's always painting on it for the kids.. at least most of the green would be covered up!

I might make scarves and stuff for next Christmas. I definitely like to save money where I can (especially at that time of year because holiday shopping makes me a complete grouch).

If it's acrylic, there's less you can do with it, other than putting it on the inside of blankets, lining coats or other warm wear, or selling it and using the money for fabric you like better.

I like the idea of making mama cloths with them, but I am pretty sure it is waterproof acrylic fleece. Maybe I could use as the outer layer for cloth pads?
) so I don't want to use it for hats/scarves/etc. because I can't stand the color.
