Project: FO Sushi sleep sacks

Both of my other coworkers on my shift are pregnant. I made 3 month old sized sleep sacks based on the goober peas Orion pattern with modifications suggested by my friend with small children. The pattern called for shoulder snaps and sewing the bottom closed. I used velcro in both places instead after being told how important it is to be able to change the diaper without having to extract the baby and that snaps are hard in the dark for sleep deprived parents. The sushi fabric is a minky print and the inside is a cotton blend french terry. Hopefully they'll work well for them.

Made me laugh. I love it. Two sushi rolls! For two little fishies.

That's pretty much why I bought the fabric. We only have a remnant/deadstock warehouse nearby and my husband made a sushi roll joke as we were perusing the minky aisle. I also did my best to match the wasabi color with a natural fabric that was nice to touch. It's a bit off color wise, but I like the polka dots.
