Not only do babies sleep safer, babies sleep better, too. A sleep sack is a warm cuddly blanket they can’t kick off which allows baby to sleep soundly throughout the night.
But did you know sleep sacks are so easy to make!!

The American Academy of Pediatrics cautions against leaving loose blankets in your baby’s crib. Sleep sacks are here to answer the call for safer snoozing. A sleep sack replaces loose blankets in the crib that can cover a baby’s face and interfere with breathing.
All sleep sacks are sleeveless. To keep baby warmer, simply dress him in a onesie before putting him in his sack.
This FREE pattern was designed by Connecting Threads for infants sized 0-3 months. The finished sack will measure approximately 23″ long x 16″ wide. And Connecting Threads has a large selection of quality cottons for great sale prices!!
