Freezie season is upon us! From Mr. Freeze, to Pop-Ice, to Slushie Puppie, to Jolly Rancher Freezer Pops, and Italian Ice sticks, my kids are certified addicts!
With their recent addiction to Star Wars, this design just seemed natural...But, I realized that not all freezie's are created equal...Some are long and narrow, and some are short and wide! So, I developed TWO sizes for their freezie sleeves :) Follow me for the free pattern~ |
