To get myself in the swing of things I started out by running up a few crib sheets,and a pram blanket,then using some cotton interlock raided from a friends stash I set about making a lightweight baby sleeping bag.
I had no pattern and just kinda made it up as I went along,but I think it worked out ok.There are things I'd do differently if I made another.I think maybe the ruffle at the top might be too wide for a newborn (even a 10lber which is what I'm likely to have!),and I'm not completely sold on the snap closure either...maybe elasticated straps would've been better?I didn't want to do ties as I thought that'd be fiddly in the middle of the night!
Thinking about it now,maybe I should've used a drawstring at the bottom instead of sewing it closed...for easy nappy changes?
Next on my baby sewing list are some hooded towels and an heirloom blanket,oh yes and a changing bag,probably lots more too!
