Seal sleeping bag

I made this very cute and warm seal sleeping bag. When temperatures drop below zero and you have no insulation, the nights can be very cold. But with this sleeping bag Jurrit stays nice and warm. This pattern comes from Ottobre Magazine nr. 6 2012.

The outside fabric of the sleeping bag is a woolen fabric. The inside of the sleeping bag is lined with a dark grey cotton tricot fabric. Between the layers of wool and tricot there is an extra layer of polyester fiberfill. The flippers of the seal are made of some leftover offwhite cotton flannel fabric.

The sleeping bag closes with two zippers. Even when the little one is allready asleep, you can still put him or her easily in the sleeping bag. The hood keeps babies head nice and warm, even when you take him outside for a ride in his stroller.

Sleeping bag

Today I finished this cute little sleeping bag for my youngest son Jurrit. He's 1 month old. We live in an old house and last winter it was very cold in our bedroom. Jurrit sleeps in his own bed in our bedroom. With this sleeping bag he will be nice and warm this winter.

The outside of the sleeping bag is made of a beige sweater fabric. The lining of the sleeping bag is made of a soft flanel fabric in an offwhite colour. The length of the sleeping bag is approximately 70 cm.
