During the day the sun can warm them up pretty nicely.Pioneer Woman at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533698959389851926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-54352640716925226392015-03-05T19:56:31.898-08:002015-03-05T19:56:31.898-08:00The coats are adorable and should do the trick nic...The coats are adorable and should do the trick nicely. I have to be honest though, I thought with all that sherpa/wool fur, that they'd be plenty warm enough, especially in a barn, but heck, what do I know about goats or goat kids. LOL I believe they're plenty lucky though, having a thoughtful talented human Mama (Grandma?) like you.<br /><br />We once made coats for stray cats out of old stretched out tube socks, sweatshirt sleeves and sweatpant legs, just by cutting them the right length for the cat's body and then cutting holes in each side a few inches down from the cuff for their little legs to hang out. They worked great, and surprisingly, the cats tolerated them.<br /><br />God bless.<br /><br />RB<br /><><RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053380234618898848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-5936079031144028122015-03-05T05:19:31.316-08:002015-03-05T05:19:31.316-08:00Thanks Sandra!Thanks Sandra!Pioneer Woman at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533698959389851926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-31187294584346259532015-03-05T05:04:01.235-08:002015-03-05T05:04:01.235-08:00Love the goat coats!

How cute that is going to be on a baby goat. Have you seen the baby goat coats made from old sweatshirt sleeves? The cuff goes over the head, the rest of the sleeve goes over the back and belly with two holes simply cut in the material (on the bottom side) for the front legs. Just a tube with leg holes. Those would never rival the ones you're making but would be quicker and easier.<br /><br />Hope your daughter doesn't share her germs with the rest of the family. There's been a lot of that yuck around here all winter, but (knock wood) we've stayed healthy.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-40478256061583293812015-03-04T05:13:38.567-08:002015-03-04T05:13:38.567-08:00Super awesome goat coats!
