Basically, Oodie is a blanket that you can wear and it is made with thick fleece fabric to keep you warm during winter. The original Oodie comes in fun and funky designs.

You can however choose to make your blanket hoodie using plain blanket fabric or fleece. Personally, when making my own I prefer to use bright and funky designs. If I can not find the right fabric to sew I pick up discounted blankets from Dollar tree or similar.

Making your own Oodie or wearable blanket is a great way to customize the style and size of your Oodie, one issue I was having with wearing my original store-bought one , was the weight. I found them too heavy on my shoulders.  So I was able to customize my own Oodie by using a lighter fleece, I also decided to remove the hood part as it was adding weight to my shoulders when using my wearable blanket for activities.

Here is a video tutorial we found for making your own Oodie or wearable blanket.
