How To Make A Sleep Sack
You can make a sleep sack easily if you have basic sewing skills.

1.Find an all cotton fabric that you like.  You will need about 1 yard to make about 3-4 sleep sacks.  You will also need some matching all purpose thread.
2.
Cut  four 12”x22”  Rectangles be sure to leave an additional 1/4” or 1/2” seam allowance .
3.
Pin 2 of the rectangles'  right sides together .  Straight stitch 3 side leaving one of the 12” sides open.  At this point it should resemble a pocket.  Unpin the pocket. This is pocket # 1
4.
Pin the other 2 rectangles right sides together and straight stitch.  Stitch 3 sides, leaving one of the 12” sides open.  Unpin after stitching and turn right side out. This is pocket #2
5.
Place pocket #1 inside pocket # 2  Now your pattern will show on the outside and inside of the pocket and only the top will have raw edges.
6.
Now turn the 2 top edges of the pocket 1” over  on the out side of the pocket. It should look like a cuff.  Turn the fabric again hiding the  raw seams on the inside of the cuff.  Finger press the fold at the top and bottom of the cuff.
7.
Straight stitch  around the bottom of the cuff.  Stitch 1” up from the bottom fold of the  cuff.
8.
Trim all loose threads and pat your self on the back!  You have made your first sleep sack.
