When the cold arrives and the babies there is no way that they are covered by the blankets, many times the sleeping bag is a good option. And although there are many models in the market, let's see how to make a sleeping bag for babies.
Since I arrive at the end of the month they do not bring the way to do it simply and economically. If we are tricky and we have a sewing machine, the work will be easier, if we do not need scissors, needle and thread.
The first step is to buy the fabric we like best, choosing soft and breathable fabrics, such as cotton. In the case of especially cold homes you can choose polar fabric to line the inside of the bag. To make it fluffy we will put a polyester interior.

Once we have chosen the fabric and materials we must trim the sack. It is convenient to make it bigger than our son so that he is comfortable and serves at least one season. We will also consider the following points:
- We will cut it with the shape you see in the photo: long and sleeveless.
- The narrowest part is usually left towards the trunk and the one with the widest legs, for greater freedom of movement.
- You have to leave a little more fabric so that when joining the pieces, an inner hem stays.
Then you have to cut four equal pieces: two for the front and two for the rear. We will start sewing them but without closing them completely, because you have to introduce the filling distributed throughout the piece.
To close the bag by the shoulders, we can use automatic buttons or velcro.
Now we have the two parts filled and must be joined. This last step can be done to everyone's taste: sewing only one side and on the other put a zipper, automatic or even with ties. Now, if we wish we can only decorate the bag with some embroidery, as with the name of the baby ...
No need to complicate it further, but if someone dares ... try this version of sack with built-in music. Of course, it will always be better for us to sing to the baby.
As we see, it is simple and you just have to have some skill with a needle and thread to make a sleeping bag for babies, warm, economical and with a unique design.
