Sewing Pattern : Make a baby’s sleep sack from a man’s dress shirt

Lindsay from The Cottage Mama and The Cottage Home guest blogs over at luvinthemommyhood with a tutorial showing how to make a baby’s sleep sack out of a man’s dress shirt. I love this idea!! Not only is it a super cute sleep sack, but it’s made from free or inexpensive materials. If you don’t have any old shirts hanging out in the back of your closet, you can usually find them at a rummage sale. Go to the tutorial.
