Gaming Sleep Sack

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• Cotton Fabric, Two Contrasting Colors
• Lightweight Batting
• Basic Sewing Supplies
• 1/2" Foam Sheet

DIRECTIONS:

1. PILLOW INSERT:
• With right sides together, sew the top and bottom sleep sack at the top edge. This forms the top of the pillow insert.
• Turn the sleep sack back to the right sides out, marking the length of the pillow insert.
• Press under the raw edges of the front and back of the sleep sack to form the pillow insert edge.
• At the pillow insert markings, topstitch front and back sleep sack edges.
• For the bottom of the pillow insert, topstitch both layers of the sleep sack and stitch across lengthwise for the bottom of the pillow insert.
• Stitch the remaining of the front and back sleep sack together at the opening edges.


2. BLANKET:
• Cut the blanket to the width of your batting. The blanket should be larger than the sleep sack to your preference.
• On the wrong side of the top blanket, topstitch the batting on the edges.
• With right sides together, attach the top and bottom blanket around the edges, leaving the side open that will be sewn to the sleep sack.
• Trim seam allowance and flip the blanket to the right side, baste the remaining raw edges.


3. FINAL TOUCHES:
• Cut four 1 1/4" x 10" straps.
• Center the straps on the bottom edge of the sleep sack.
• Baste the straps on the right side of the top sleep sack.
• Attach the blanket to the sleep sack side edge and bottom edge.

JOANN HACKS:

• Sew two straps on top of each other to have more stability for tying the sleep sack.
• Topstitch the blanket edge for a professional look.
