<\/a>Homemade "Sleepsack"<\/p><\/div>\n
When we came home from the hospital with Chloe and JD they sent us a sleepsack.\u00a0 It’s basically a sleeping bag with arm holes.\u00a0 But it’s a fantastic alternative to trying to put a blanket on a baby (especially a wiggly baby).\u00a0 This way it keeps him warm but I’m not concerned with it covering his face.\u00a0 He can wiggle and pound his feet all he wants and when he lays his feet back down the sleepsack goes right with him.<\/p>\n
The problem we had was our monster-of-a-boy.\u00a0 He outgrew his nice hospital sleepsacks very quickly and I could buy them on line in a much bigger size but they were pricey.<\/p>\n
So……. I said to myself, “I’m crafty.\u00a0 I could make that.”\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
And I did.<\/p>\n
I actually worked on the first one when Kylene and Justin were here over Christmas (that’s how behind I am in writing this post!).\u00a0 It took me a while to get it figured out (since I’m not<\/span>, um, let’s say particularly SKILLED in the art of sewing….) but I finally got it to work.\u00a0 It zips closed, bottom to top, and I even put a little velcro strap across the top of the zipper so it won’t rub his chin.\u00a0 So fancy, right?<\/p>\n \n Can you see the protective tab by the neck hole to cover the top of the zipper?<\/p><\/div>\n I found the fleece on SUPER clearance just after black Friday so they were about $3-4 a piece.\u00a0 I’ve now made him 2 of them, so I can always have a clean one available.\u00a0 And, since I made it myself, I was able to make it extra long so it will last for a while.\u00a0 At least I hope!<\/p>\n \n<\/a>
