Free Sewing pattern: Baby Sleep Sack or Spring Scrunched Baby Dress

by

Jessica from Running With Scissors shares a free pattern on her blog for making her Baby Sleep Sack with a crossover front.  The cuffs include a flap that folds over the hands to protect baby from getting scratched by their sharp little fingernails.  The pattern is sized for infants newborn to 6 months, which would make this an awesome baby gift!  In fact, I’m planning on making some for a friend’s little baby girl due to arrive in the next few months.  Get the sleep sack pattern.

And if that’s not enough to make  you squeal out oud,  she follows it up with a tutorial showing to adapt the sleep sack pattern to maek this sweet Spring Scrunched Baby Dress.  It’s an adaptation of her baby sleepsuit pattern.  Brilliant!!  Get the how-to for making the Spring Scrunched Baby Dress.

  1. I am wondering how you get baby into this sack without a zipper or ties?
    What about the feet sticking out and getting cold? Or using a tie at the bottom?

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
