25533great job! I remember putting my children in these when I lived in Norway. They had some that even had D rings on the side so you could keep baby from moving around in the crib. Looking back not sure it was the best thing, but It kept them safe. :)

9483Well done and so very pretty. It was worth all the effort. I used to make these when the twins were younger but I put my zip up the front - I think yours looks much nicer. We just cannot buy nice ones here in SA. Sarah.

Thank you Sarah,
Yours are very cute, I wanted to make the
baby's bottom more accessible without disturbing his sleep. This way the entire right side opens up.

15711So cute and like what you came up to make your pattern.
89895Wow how creative. You should patent (or whatever it is called)on the design and market it. You did a great job. Great answer to the challenge.

Thank you so much Mylinda
Well patents are so expensive that it would never be worth the cost and I am sure someone has thought of this idea somewhere (though I never could find a pattern for one) but this one is my own and I am proud of it and now that I have made one, the others should be easier.

13250Well like the monkies i think it is cute,cute, cute hugs
360437This is really nice and the monkeys adorable. You have made a great sleeping bag and I can tell the access would be easy with all the studs and the zipper. Great invention!!!

Thank you Mary,
The tricky part was sewing it in when your front and back are not the same lenght and with this fabric, it has a tendency to curl.
I admit I did take it apart once or twice but in the end I won the battle.

Thank you Shilly,
For me the binding is easier, I have sewn so much binding that it was easier than the zip.

Thank you Loralye,
Zips are always a pain to install put getting easier. This one being so long and on this type of fabric was tricky, but I succeeded.
