    Default Grandson wants a sleep sack

    Hi everyone, I know this isn't a quilting question, but I also know if there is a pattern out there, you are the ones to go to. My 16 yr old GS wants a fleece sleep sack. He is 2X and 5'10". I want it to be a surprise and it needs to be easy to get into. Any tips? Thank you and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

    What is the difference in a sleep sack and sleeping bag.

    I had to do a Google search, to see just what this is. From what I understand, it's a lightweight sleeping bag, that is used in a bed, to prevent contact with the bed linens. From the pictures I saw, it doesn't look too hard to make. It appears to be just a sheet, folding over into sleeping bag form.

    Neesie, I think you're right. he prob. doesn't like the cold sheets and prefers the cuddliness of the polar fleece.
    i'd take 4 yrds of fleece and sew up one side and 3/4 up the other. good luck

    Fleece sheets are available and are VERY soft and cuddly. Super for the winter!
