lamb jackets: Plan C

Before we got them, I had sewn little polar fleece jackets for our lambs, following a pattern from a sheep farmer. Our robust boys were already too big for them. It was late and we were tired from a long weekend of partaying, so we cut some pieces from a thick old towel (40x50cm) and used paper masking tape to fasten them. Perfect! The non-stretchy tape keeps them from tightening; it's easily removable (just rip off the tape) and can be re-fastened with more room later. One ring of tape around the neck and another around the chest and it stays on perfectly. They are warm and cosy.
