<p>I got a sewing machine and I have a bunch of completed gaitors and ear warmers, but I'm not very good at passing them out, so if someone wants to grab a batch who is better at passing them out let me know. I live in humbolt park and work downtown so either people would work for meeting up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also I picked up a little bit more of the "red paw print" fabric and will turn that into either gators or balacavas, which would people rather have?</p>

<p>Hiya fleecy people. . .</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have been working on a page on the BW site to help people make their own balaclavas and gaitors. Will you take a look and give feedback? Also, please let me know who else needs to be included in the thanks section. <a href="http://bikewinter.org/fleece" target="_blank">http://bikewinter.org/fleece</a></p>

<p>Can anyone turn my gator pdf into an image file so people do not have to do a pdf download? I also have the original word doc. Or is this something easy I should be able to do with basic software? I tried to do a print screen and paste into Paint but the quality was poor.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Of course, I welcome anyone else submitting patterns.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks!</p> Cricket-

<p>Also, I have a big bag of fleece that I picked up from a freecycler enlisted by Kathy. I'm not totally sure if it all is usable, but I'm ready to bring that to a cutting party.</p>

Hi -- thanks Julie for posting. Actually this call-out would be first for the NU staff bike commuters group that we've formed. ;-)<br></br>
<br></br>
If we were to pick up some purple fleece, would someone be able to help put some gaiters/balaclavas together for us? OR give us the pattern and we can cut? (not sure if I'm capable of tackling the sewing aspect)<br />
<br />
How much fleece is needed - yardage - for making a supply?<br />
<br />
<br></br>

I have plenty of finished work that needs unloading. I gave some away at the tweed ride on Saturday, but I have a lot more.<br />
<br />
I'll try and stop by some thrift stores this weekend to see if I can find fleece blankets or fabric that we could reporpose.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I am unable to host at the moment, but if I can make a cutting party, then I should be able to bring a sewing machine.<br />

As for tageted events...perhaps we could do some morning commute giveaways? It might be fun to wake up early and hold up signs to encourage winter bikers...especially now when more people are riding since it isn't so bad and we could get more new winter riders.
