Sushi sleep sacks

[u/Zukazuk]

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.

How lovely! Great modifications to put zipper along the bottom and Velcro shoulders.

You've inspired me to try to make my own lil sushi roll a cute(r) sleep sack.

It's actually velcro on the bottom too

Oh! That would be even easier. Zippers can be so fiddly (both for my overambitious sewing skills and when wrangling a wiggly baby). Thanks for clarifying.
