My tutorials for making baby sleeping bags are some of my most popular posts. Go to this tutorial to see how I make my Baby Sleeping Bags/Grobags. And this tutorial shows you how you can use an old woollen blanket as batting to make a lovely warm Winter-weight bag.
With the new baby due to arrive any day now, I’ve been making up a couple more bags. I wanted to make a Winter-weight one but didn’t want the weight that comes from a wool blanket, so for this sleeping bag I used a Bamboo-Cotton batting. Because I used quilt batting, I quilted the batting to the outer fabric with lines about 2″ apart. The bag is lined with cotton jersey. I made most of this sleeping bag as part of a sewing night. I had my sister in law and Ros from Sew Delicious over and we all whipped up a bag for our kids! It was great fun and I’m looking forward to having another sewing party.
I also made a lighter weight bag without the batting. They’re both a 0 – 6 months size. I used a double ended zip in these bags. Putting the zip in upside down means that the bag can be done up from the top, but also opened from the bottom while still being closed…perfect for late night nappy changes!

That lion fabric is delicious! What a great baby gift – for some reason I’ve never considered making a sleeping bag…that’s all changed now. x

The tutorial will definitely be bookmarked. I have been thinking about making a grobag for my toddler daughter on and off for a while now but have never had the time or the courage to give it a go. Your pictures and tutorial(s) just made me so excited about it once again. They are just gorgeous!

These are so so gorgeous, I love lions and foxes! Makes me want to make one, but seeing as we finally got a gas heater the pressure to make one isn’t there now lol. They certainly save money though, the Bonds ones I looked at buying are expensive $$$!!!
