Skate blade covers "soakers"

[morganm]

I'd like to make some of those big puffy soakers. DOes anyone have a pattern or know where I can get one?

Soakers are very easy to make - at their simplest, just cut a cheap towel into the relevant-sized pieces, turn over the ends to make a casing and thread elastic through. Lined ones are nicer - you can make the outside casing with whatever you like (I usually knit mine!), then cut same-size bit of towel, sew the two long ends together right sides facing, turn right way out, make casings on long sides, sew up short sides leaving part of the casing open, thread elastic.... dead easy, really, and make nice presents.

morganm, I know that on one skating dress pattern I bought once, there was also a pattern for soakers. It was a KWIK-SEW pattern, but unfortunately I no longer have it to let you know the number.
