Different families get out of this situation different ways, but today we want to talk about a very convenient, and most importantly simple tool - a sleeping bag.

The baby will be warm not only from the comfortable little thing, but also from the caring mother's hands, gently stitching each line.

In anticipation of the birth of a baby, mom needs to prepare everything necessary for him, for example, a sleeping bag. Pros and cons of sleeping bags.

A newborn sleeping bag is far superior to a blanket and here's why:

• thanks to the comfortable location inside the bag, the baby freely turns over in a dream;
• in the version with a blanket, after turning the baby over, it remains undressed, which means that it becomes cold, choosing a sleeping bag, you eliminate this problem - the baby is always covered, which means that the whole family sleeps peacefully;
• feeding can be carried out directly in the bag, so the baby will not experience temperature changes;
• compact version compared to a blanket, which means that it will take up less space when traveling;
• the safety of the structure eliminates the danger that it will be difficult for the baby to breathe if he hides himself with his head, as can happen with a blanket;
• a grown baby up to a year old sleeping bag will prevent getting out of the crib;
• more convenient option for use in a stroller: always securely fixed and very quick to put on.

We list the cons that this product has:

• Diaper change. Check the baby for changing clothes, as well as for the very process of changing the diaper, you need to open the bag. A child, getting out of his cozy place, can take a walk, which means that you will have to calm him down and rock him in order to put him to sleep again.
• Buying a bag is no longer for a newborn baby, but for a slightly older one, there is a danger that he will not be able to get used to the new sleeping conditions.

Buying a sleeping bag in the store or sewing it yourself is the decision of each individual mother. Today you can find a wide variety of materials for products. Thus, it is easy to find the right option for any season.

When choosing a sleeping bag, you should focus on the child's age and the required envelope thickness, it is also important to pay attention to the quality of tailoring and fabric. sleeping bag

When making a choice before buying, be sure to pay attention to the following important points:

• The size. Opt for longer sleeping bags (stock + 10-15 cm in height). It is not worth taking it back to back. Having slightly increased in height, the baby will be uncomfortable in such a sleeping bag, he will not be able to comfortably stretch and stretch his legs. Too large size also does not fit. The baby may just get confused there. When choosing, you need to focus on the following parameters:
  • 65 cm - from 0 to 4 months;
  • 75 cm - from 4 to 9 months;
  • 90 cm - from 9 to 15 months;
  • 105 cm - from 15 months and older.
• Material. Pay close attention to the components of the bag - they must be completely non-allergenic! In terms of temperature, there may be such options: from 20˚С - cotton; 17-20˚С - with a small insulation; below 16˚С - insulated; very warm and quilted options are a great choice for walking in spring and autumn. The recommended option for washing such things is an automatic machine at 40 ° C. Please note that the sleeping bag should be light.
• Sleeves. There are a lot of options: envelopes, with sleeves, with detachable and sewn-on cuffs, and others. When buying an envelope with sleeves for a newborn, choose the option with sewn-on edges or having the ability to fasten them - this way it is less likely that the baby will scratch itself in a dream. When planning a purchase for the long term, choose the option with detachable sleeves and the ability to shorten the length by moving the buttons. From birth, the sleeveless option is perfect for children, because in this case the child will have good thermoregulation. Heat does not come out "through the arms", which means that the body will not overheat, which has a beneficial effect on further good health and resistance to colds.

A wide range of sleeping bags allows you to choose an option for every taste, but it is important to monitor the quality of the fabric and tailoring so that the baby is comfortable and safe

• Neck. A prerequisite is that the gap between the neck and the neck should be at least 1.5-2 cm. Avoid tight-fitting options that can rub the skin or interfere with free movement.
• Clasps. For convenience, manufacturers usually use a zipper as a lock. Such a fastener allows you to quickly unfasten and fasten the sleeping bag. Less common options are with Velcro, buttons and buttons. For older babies, they produce options with a zipper that closes from the bottom up, so the child is protected from accidental opening during sleep.
• Embroidery, appliques. They are considered unnecessary elements, as they can provoke chafing of the baby's skin. Perfect option - printed delicate designs on soft fabric. Solid color option would also be appropriate.

If you have filler in your sleeping bag, read the information on how to wash it. Taking care of such things is special.

After buying a quality bed, you should properly organize the sleeping place itself. One of the original and very comfortable sleeping accessories is a sleeping bag. How to choose a sleeping bag or sew it yourself, tie it and then use it correctly is described in the article.

Benefits of Newborn Sleeping Bags

Recently, many parents prefer to choose not "classics" - blankets, and sleeping bags for babies. The main advantage of a sleeping bag is the ability to reliably cover a child who constantly opens up and freezes in a dream. And parents cannot be on duty all night at the crib with an infant to straighten the blanket. The bag is especially suitable for restless babies who at night prefer to roll from one corner of the crib to another, throwing off the blanket, which makes the child often wake up and cry. It is for these occasions that newborn sleeping bags were created. Such an accessory will become a real find in the winter or in the off-season, when the heating has not yet been turned on.

Other advantages of a sleeping bag for a child:

1. The kid does not open up at night. This is a very significant advantage. Especially in winter period a sleeping bag for newborns becomes a real boon for parents.
2. The ability to feed the newborn without removing it from the sleeping bag. If the apartment is cool, the baby can be capricious at the moment of taking him out of the heated bed, and the sleeping bag will relieve him of unpleasant sensations.
3. Sleep comfort and coziness - there is no need to tuck the edges in the sleeping bag so that the child is truly warm and sweet to rest. Newly born babies are accustomed to a cramped "cradle" in the mother's womb, so a sleeping bag will come in handy.
4. A sleeping bag is safer for newborns than a blanket. The fact is that the child can either pull the blanket over himself or slide under the blanket himself. The result is the same - the child's head is covered. This can make breathing difficult, and the newborn is unable to get out of this position on its own. And when using sleeping bags for newborns, the likelihood of suffocation is much lower.
5. A grown-up baby sleeping in a sleeping bag will not be able to climb over the side of the crib on its own.
6. It is very convenient to take with you on a trip or trip, while you do not need to worry about the hanging edges of the blanket, which is not always hygienic. At the same time, on any trip, it will be convenient for the child to relax in the conditions to which he is accustomed at home.

Conclusion: A sleeping bag is an important and sometimes irreplaceable accessory that provides a child with excellent sleeping conditions.

Are there any disadvantages to a sleeping bag?

1. the sleeping bag is not very comfortable for a newborn. This can especially manifest itself when the child is used to sleeping open, and then suddenly he is placed in an isolated space. However, if the baby sleeps in a sleeping bag from the first days, then such problems, as a rule, do not arise;
2. If the sleeping bag is regular, and not with sleeves, then the baby's arms will be uncovered and may freeze. In a warm room, this drawback, of course, is not relevant.
3. It is advisable to put the child in the sleeping bag in a diaper, which will not allow the child to wet the sleeping bag.
4. Changing a diaper at night without waking up the baby will be very uncomfortable. A sleepy baby needs to be taken out of the bag, undressed, diaper changed, dressed and put into the bag. After such manipulations, many children wake up completely. Only very young children do not have this problem, because they usually only need one diaper for the whole night.

How Do I Pick a Good Sleeping Bag?

Even sleeping accessories have their own characteristics and features, they also have sleeping bags. When choosing, you need to take into account several indicators, which are described below.

• Sleeping bag size

The product must be selected according to the child's height. So, newly born children buy bags 65 cm long, for babies 3-9 months old sleeping bags 70-75 cm are suitable, from 9 months to 1.5 years the size of a sleeping bag should be at least 90 cm.Old children need a sleeping bag of about 100 -110 cm and more.

Sleeping bags are designed for children under 4 years old! There is a risk of confusion in a large model. Therefore, a length of 10-15 cm is allowed more than the growth of the baby from the neck to the foot. In order not to be mistaken with the size, measure the baby's chest circumference and height before buying.

To choose a product for a specific baby's height, it is worth adding 15 cm to the body length from feet to neck, so it is recommended to carefully measure your child before buying.

• Composition

As a rule, sleeping bags are made from hypoallergenic, breathable, natural materials. The lining is usually made from 100% cotton, and the upper is made from polyamide fibers that shape the garment and keep it warm. Taking care of such a sleeping bag is as easy as shelling pears - it is machine washed at a temperature of 40-60 degrees. You should not buy products made from artificial or mixed fabrics.

• Are sleeves needed?

Usually the sleeves are sewn onto sleeping bags intended for newborns. This will help keep the handles warm and protect the baby from accidental injury - scratching the face. If you decide to choose a model with sleeves, then they should not be narrow, because the baby still needs to move. In more expensive sleeping bags, the sleeves even unfasten, which will be convenient at an older child's age and in a warm room. There are models in which the length of the sleeves is regulated.

• Sleeping bag neck

The neck should also be spacious so that the child is not in any way constrained by the fabric. Ideally, a distance of 1.5-2 cm should remain between its neck and the neck of the sleeping bag.

• Back of the bag

To make a newborn or an older child comfortable to sleep, the back of the sleeping bag is chosen smooth, without appliqués, embroidery, otherwise the product will rub delicate skin at night.

• Clasps

In the sleeping bag, as a rule, a zipper is sewn in, which is located right in the center of the product (it is easier to change the baby's clothes this way). For older children who are already actively turning over at night, it is better to buy a sleeping bag with a zipper that unfastens from the bottom up - so that it does not disperse by itself or the child cannot unfasten it himself. On the back, the fasteners are not made so that they do not interfere with the children, but on the shoulders, many products have additional buttons - to adjust for growth.

Features of using a sleeping bag - season and temperature in the room

There are some recommendations for using sleeping bags:

1. Lightweight cotton models are usually used when it is warm in the apartment - above 22 degrees.
2. Insulated products will come in handy if the temperature drops to 19-22 degrees.
3. Warm, quilted sleeping bags are needed if the baby sleeps at temperatures below 19 degrees.

The temperature at which a particular sleeping bag model is used is always indicated on the product label.

What to wear for the baby for the night?

In children with normal thermoregulation, it is not difficult to choose clothes for sleeping. If the thermometer is 22 o C and above, a body with short sleeves or even one diaper will do. The baby is placed in a simple cotton sleeping bag.

If the temperature is approximately 20 o C to 22 o C, wear a long-sleeved bodysuit and pajamas top with a cotton sleeping bag, or just a bodysuit with a warmed version.

And when the thermometer drops to 18 o C or even 16 o C, which is considered the best microclimate for babies, along with high levels of humidity, they use the most insulated sleeping bag and put on a little man, pajamas with panties or sliders along with a bodysuit with a long sleeve ... Basically, you will quickly find out what clothes to wear on the baby so that he does not freeze, but also does not sweat.

Questions

• Why do they sew sleeveless sleeping bags, the child will freeze?

In fact, babies are very susceptible to overheating. Thermoregulation in babies is still being established, and if the baby is hot, heat transfer occurs, which is just carried out through the free handles.

It should be remembered that constant thermal comfort is just as harmful as freezing - the mechanisms of thermoregulation do not "start" properly, and as a result, the child often suffers from ARVI and ARI. If you observe a sleeping baby, you will see that he often sticks his arms out from under the blanket, and this is normal.

So do not be afraid to buy sleeveless models when the temperature is more or less stable in the apartment (house).

• How do you know if your child is very hot?

Hands are not the most accurate reference point, they often feel cold. Touch the baby's tummy or the back of the head, if it is sweaty, hot, it means that it is hot. Uncover the child, change if necessary and give a drink.

• How to know if the temperature in the room is normal?

For these purposes, there are room alcohol or electronic thermometers. Some include indoor humidity readings. If it is less than 50%, you should think about ways to moisturize. The most effective is with a special device, a humidifier. We also read: normal temperature in the room with a newborn baby

• What if the baby slips into the sleeping bag?

If the size is selected, taking into account all the nuances and recommendations, this will never happen. The very narrowing in the chest area, as well as the cutouts for the arms, serve as an obstacle.

• The bag with the "insulation" seems thin. Maybe an extra blanket?

Look not at the thickness of the product, but at the label and the temperature threshold at which it is used. Modern materials retain heat well, despite the fact that they may seem unreliable. As for extra cover, the blanket cannot be used with a sleeping bag!

• Cut the fabrics. To cut the backrest, you need a single piece of fabric so that the seams do not interfere with the child's sleep.

• Sewing. After the pieces of fabric are cut in, they are turned with their front sides inward, grinded, and a zipper is sewn in from the bottom (or in the middle).

Tips for choosing

When buying a sleeping bag for a newborn baby, you should take into account some of the features of such products in order to choose the best model for the baby.

The size

The sleeping bag should be suitable for the child's height. Newborns are bought products up to 65 cm in size, babies 4-9 months sleep in a 75 cm bag, a 90 cm model is used for 9-month-old babies and up to 15 months of age, and older babies buy or sew a sleeping bag of 105 cm or more.

Usually, the length of the bag is chosen so that it exceeds the child's height by 10-15 cm (the height from the feet to the neck is taken into account). So for a successful purchase, you must definitely measure your baby.

Consider the growth of your baby when choosing a sleeping bag Composition

Choose a product for your child made of natural, breathable and hypoallergenic material. As a rule, the lining in baby sleeping bags is 100% cotton. Also, the composition is important for the care of the sleeping bag. Your best bet is to buy a machine-washable bag.

Choose only natural materials for your baby Sleeves

Many sleeping bags for newborns have sleeves, but there are also sleeveless models. If the selected sleeping bag has sleeves, they should be wide so as not to interfere with the baby's arms. On some bags, the sleeves may come unfastened. There are also products with adjustable sleeves.

Sleeping bag with sleeves will keep your baby warm on cool nights Neck

It should not squeeze the child's body. Choose a bag in which the neck fits the baby loosely, and the gap between this part and the baby's neck will be about one and a half centimeters.

Back

The bottom of the sleeping bag should be smooth and without any finishing (decorations, patterns) so that the baby does not experience discomfort during sleep.

Clasps

In most sleeping bags for newborns, the zipper is located in the middle so that it is easy for the baby to change clothes. In models for older children, the fastener is sewn in such a way that the zipper needs to be unzipped from the bottom up (this will prevent accidental opening at night).

In addition, many baby sleeping bags have rivets on their shoulders. In some models, they can change position, adjusting the sleeping bag to the baby's height. As a rule, there are no fasteners on the back.

When should you use it?

The use of a sleeping bag for sleeping with a newborn and older children is influenced by the time of year, as well as the temperature in the room.

If the product is a light cotton sleeping bag, then the baby can sleep in it at room temperature + 22 ° C.

At a lower temperature (from 19 to 22 ° C), the crumb is placed in an insulated bag model.

There are also products used at room temperatures below + 19 ° C.

Refer to the sleeping bag label for the temperature range for the purchased model.

Sleeping bags are available for both the hot season and the cool period. How to sew with your own hands?

To make a homemade sleeping bag for a baby, you need to choose a suitable pattern and buy high-quality fabric (knitwear, cotton or other natural material).

Patterns

The most in a simple way to build a sleeping bag pattern for a child will use the clothes that the child wears. Paper is applied to the T-shirt or sliders and the contours of the clothes are marked, then a few centimeters are added on each side so that the product does not squeeze the child and there is enough fabric for the seams. The length of the bag is noted depending on the height of the baby, adding 15-20 cm to the distance from the shoulders to the feet.

For the back, one piece is cut out, and the front part of the bag can be cut out in the form of a one-piece piece or from several pieces (make an interesting applique).

Sewing process

The cut layers of fabric are sewn with the right sides to each other. A zipper is sewn into the lower part of the product, and the fasteners on the shoulders can be represented by buttons or Velcro. If the model is warm, insert a synthetic winterizer inside. The front part can be decorated with ribbons, appliqué and other decorative elements at will.

How to knit?

If the mother does not know how to sew, but has been knitting for a long time, she can make a sleeping bag for the baby with her own hands, knitting it with knitting needles. Such bags are more convenient than padding polyester ones, and follow the contours of the baby's body. In addition, they are completely natural, since wool is usually used for knitting.

To knit a sleeping bag for a baby, purchase about 500 g of wool and, depending on the design of the product, a few buttons or a zipper. Prepare knitting needles 4 and 5, circular 3.5, and auxiliary knitting needle for work. For elastic, knit the front and back loops alternately, for the holes for the buttons in the front row, close two loops, and on the wrong side, cast on the same number of loops.

For the back of the newborn bag cast 49 sts on 5 and knit, adding one stitch in every second row to 59 sts. After 48 cm, start decreasing the loops for the armholes to 53 loops, and after another 16 cm, close 11 loops in the middle, and knit the rest separately. Close the side loops at the same time to create shoulder bevels. All loops should be closed 17 cm from the line of the beginning of the armholes.

For the front, cast on 69 stitches, knit in stitch or using your desired pattern. Add up to 79 stitches in every second row along the side stitch. After 12 rows, divide the loops and knit separately, 48 cm from the first row, make an armhole, as on the back of the product. As with the back, bind off the middle 10 sts and also bind off the side stitches in every second row.

Knit the sleeves and hood with an elastic band 4. Gather the product, sew in the zipper and sew the sleeves and hood to the back and front with circular knitting needles, making 1 hole for the button on each side. Close the loops and sew on the buttons - the knitted sleeping bag is ready.

In order for a newborn's sleep to be sweet and healthy, very little is needed. Parents make the bed with love, choose toys ... Someone even sews. And since we are talking about needlework, we also suggest taking care of a cozy pajamas, more precisely, a sleeping bag for a newborn - it can also be sewn without difficulty according to our master class.

Why sew a sleeping bag for a newborn?

The advantages of using a sleeping bag for a newborn is its free cut that does not restrict the movement of the legs, and the stitch floors of the model do not allow the bag to open up in a dream, which means that the baby freezes. This option is suitable for the summer, and for the winter you can sew a similar model, but from a warm fabric (for example, fleece) or insulated with padding polyester or silicone.

In this case, the fabric for the product must be taken from cotton, without synthetic impurities, not rough and high-quality dyed.

We sew a sleeping bag for a newborn: a master class

How to make a sleeping bag pattern for a baby? You will not literally need it - instead, we advise you to take ready-made rompers or overalls that fit or are slightly large for the child.

So, in order to cut the product, fold the fabric in half, straighten all the folds and creases. On top, put the existing ready-made sliders and circle them with chalk, stepping back from the edge by 7-8 centimeters (there is no need to indent along the edge of the strap and armhole).

Cut out the details; on the front, reduce the strap length by 3-4 centimeters.

Treat the armhole and shoulder straps with a bias tape, having previously fixed it with tailor's pins.

The front of the product can be decorated satin ribbon in the form of a bow. Lay the front part face up on the table, apply tape, baste and stitch it. Then sew a bow in the center.

Two halves of the future product are ready; you can start assembling the sleeping bag for your newborn. Fold the back and in front of the right sides inward, secure the edges with pins or sweep.

Stitch one centimeter from the edge. Neaten the cut. Turn out the future product. Punch the loops on the straps and sew on the buttons.

Detail of a bag 140 cm long, 55 cm wide in striped and polka dot fabric. 2 straps 55 cm long, 9 cm wide, finished 4.5 cm wide in striped fabric, do not forget about the seam allowances. From a padding polyester, cut out a rectangle equal to the details of the bag. Fold the striped part, the synthetic winterizer and the polka dot part and then sweep it with large basting stitches in a circle and in vertical rows.

Check stitch:

From thick paper or even better from fine sandpaper (it does not slip), make a pattern 1.00 m long and 5 cm wide. The length of this pattern depends on the longest stitch line. On fabric parts, mark the first line of the stitching line with basting stitches or tailor's chalk and sew along the marked line. For the rest of the stitching lines, place the pattern along the seam and sew exactly along the edge of the pattern. Stitch in the same direction if possible.

Sewing technique:

From the top edge of the quilted part of the bag, measure down 6 cm and mark with stitches a fold line for the drawstring under the elastic. Fold both parts of the bag face to face, sew on the sides, while on one side above the fold line, leave a 3 cm hole in the seam for threading the rubber band. Neaten seam allowances and overcast top edge.

For a drawstring under an elastic band, wrap a 6 cm wide facing inward, stitch at a distance of 4 cm from the top edge.

Fold the straps along the length with the right side inward and sew long sections. Unscrew the straps, iron the edges and stitch at a distance of 1 cm and 1.8 cm from the edges. Elastic tape 0.5 cm wide, cut into 4 pieces 35 cm each. Use a small safety pin to thread the elastic band between the stitching lines and into the straps. At the ends of the straps, sew the ends of the elastic bands horizontally. Neaten the ends of the straps.

Stitch the straps at a distance of 11 cm from the middle from the inside into the seam of the stitching of the drawstring to the front and back sides of the sleeping bag.

Use a large safety pin to thread the elastic band 3 cm wide into the drawstring and sew the ends of the elastic. Sew the hole in the side seam by hand.

The patterns are taken from the indicated sites. The photo of the blue transforming blanket is mine. Sewn by me according to this pattern. Inside there is a lamb skin in a duvet cover, attached to the blanket with Velcro.
Who needs to strip off the patterns.

Does your child take off the blanket while sleeping? Does the baby wake himself up with pens? In this case, a sleeping bag will be a good help. It is suitable for both a newborn and an older child. Sewing a children's sleeping bag with your own hands is not at all difficult. In this article we offer patterns and sewing instructions.

Advantages and disadvantages of a baby sleeping bag: reviews

After studying the experience of many mothers who have used sleeping bags for babies, you can understand in advance if you need a sleeping bag.

• Keeps the baby warm as the baby does not unwrap during sleep.
• Helps the smallest children fall asleep faster and better, especially if the sleeping bag model allows you to fix the handles. Thus, it replaces the traditional swaddling, being much easier to use.
• Safer than a regular blanket, because it does not cover the baby's head.
• The baby can be fed at night without getting out of the sleeping bag.
• It is convenient for a walk, as it can be quickly put on and does not slip in the stroller.
• Takes up less space when folded compared to a blanket, so it is convenient when traveling.

• If the baby wet the sleeping bag, pee, then the product does not dry so quickly, unlike a diaper or blanket.
• Changing a baby's diaper can be problematic as you have to get your baby out of the bag. Although there are models in which it is more convenient to do this.

Requirements for a sleeping bag for a child

It is very important that the product is made from natural or hypoallergenic fabrics, especially if it is used at home and comes into contact with baby's skin. The sleeping bag must be suitable for the child's size. On some models, the legs and arms can move freely. In others, the handles are comfortably fixed. Check that the sleeping bag is suitable for the ambient temperature: the child should not overheat, this is no less harmful than hypothermia. The clasp must be secure, not scratching or pinching the baby's skin.

Varieties of sleeping bags

• An envelope bag, for example, for discharge from a maternity hospital. Convenient for walking. Among these models there are transformers, which turn into overalls as the child grows.
• Cocoon is a knitted bag that fits snugly and fixes the child's handles. Great for newborns, replaces the diaper, promotes faster falling asleep and sound sleep, can grow with the baby.

Bag to keep baby's hands free. It is suitable for older children who do not wake themselves up by throwing themselves up. A sleeved sleeping bag is a warmer version of such a product.

Children's sleeping bags for sleeping may differ in the type of closure: zipper, Velcro, buttons, buttons, ties. What should you choose?

The zipper is convenient to use, it can be quickly and easily zipped and unzipped. She is silent, does not wake up the child. Securely fixes the sleeping bag so that the baby does not unbutton. There are also disadvantages. It is rather difficult to sew on a zipper if there is no experience. It can break, seize the fabric, so you need to choose a quality mechanism. There is a risk that the zipper could pinch the baby's skin - protection must be provided.

Velcro is easy to sew on, even an inexperienced seamstress can handle it. Easy to fasten and unfasten, allow you to adjust the volume of the sleeping bag and use it for growth. However, when unbuttoned, they make a sharp sound, which can wake a sensitive infant. The hard part of the Velcro can scratch your baby's delicate skin, you need to be careful.

The buttons are accessible, reliable, safe, and also allow you to adjust the size of the product. The disadvantages are that they are not applicable to all models of sleeping bags. For example, they cannot be used on a cocoon.

Buttons combine the advantages of a zipper and velcro, one "but" - they are difficult to attach to the product, you need special equipment. Simple sewing ones are not so beautiful and reliable.

Baby sleeping bag patterns for sleeping

It is not at all necessary to spend money to buy a finished product. Sewing a children's sleeping bag with your own hands is not difficult at all. First you need to decide on the model and fabric.

To build a pattern for a sleeping bag with clasps on the shoulders, you can use the baby's existing clothes: a blouse, sliders, overalls. Attach them to the paper, add 15-20 cm to the length of the legs and draw a rectangle for the bottom. And add 5-7 cm to the top width for freedom of movement. The most difficult parts to cut out - the neckline and armholes - should be cut over the child's clothes.

You can also use ready-made templates and sizes.

The pattern of the cocoon bag is different from the model with clasps, but it is also not difficult to build it. You can circle the baby's pants by adding 10-20 cm to their length and 5-10 cm to the width. This is necessary for the baby's comfort. On the sides, draw rectangles of the same width as the previous part, and equal in height to the length from the knees to the child's shoulders. This is shown in the pattern below. If you want to make a bag with a hood, then the rectangles on top must be connected in a large semicircle so that the child's head fits into it.

Instructions for sewing an insulated baby sleeping bag with a zipper

Principles of creation different models similar. The differences will consist, first of all, in the presence or absence of a lining. And also in the method of sewing on the fastener. A lined product is more difficult to manufacture, but more comfortable to wear.

To sew a baby sleeping bag for sleeping you will need:

• Cotton fabric for the top and lining.
• Rolled synthetic winterizer or other insulation (for example, batting).
• Cotton bias tape.
• Zipper closure. The length will depend on the child's age: 50 cm - for 9-12 months, 60 cm - for 1.5-2 years old, 70 cm - for 3-4 years, 80 cm - for 5-6 years.
• Buttons (you can use Velcro or buttons).
• Pins, threads, scissors.

Sequencing:

• First, draw your pattern on paper. You should get a one-piece back and two front parts.
• Transfer the pattern from paper to fabric - outer, lining and insulation. Do it as shown in the picture. The printed fabric is the outside of the bag, the light green material is the lining, the brown material is the insulation. Do not forget to add seam allowances: to the side seams - 2 cm each, to all others - 1 cm each. Draw a cut line for the zipper on the front part of the lining. For clarity, it is indicated on the pattern.

• Sew the bias tape along the remaining open edges: neckline, armholes and back cutout. She will also fasten all three bags together.

• Attach the buttons or buttons to the hanger, grabbing all three layers of fabric.

The length of the bag is equal to the height of the child, so it will be as comfortable for him as possible. The bottom should be as free as possible and not hamper the baby's movement during sleep.

• There is a lock on the front of the sleeping envelope, do not forget about this when cutting out the parts.
