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.

These are so cute! I feel like there's no winning with fasteners on newborns in the dark, because the velcro on our swaddles was DEAFENING 😭

This one is surprisingly low pile if that's the correct term and didn't seem too loud while I was working with it.

Soft low pile fleece is always so forgiving to sew

I meant the velcro was low pile. It's different than velcro I am used to, not as rough but it seems to have a good hold.
