I don't know about patterns starting from fabric off the bolt, but these are the two "upcycling" tutorials I referenced for making mine (one has sleeves and one doesn't):

Honestly my baby seems to sleep fine in either style, but she is also always wearing footy pjs with sleeves underneath the sack. It's nice to have a couple in different fabrics, too, just depending on how cold it is and how heavy her pjs are.
