"What are we making today?" I asked.
"No-sew, fleece sleeping bags."
First, I picked out some scissors.
Then Grace handed me some fleece. That's a lot of fleece!
Then I cut out the rectangle. First, fold your fabric in half. Your feet will be where the fold is. Then cut a rectangle 14 inches wide and 20 inches tall/long. Fold the top layer of fleece about 5 inches back like the picture below.
Cut slits 1/2 inch wide and 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep. Tie the ends into knots. Once you get to a fold (either on the top or bottom) cut it like the picture below. For the part you folded back you will have 3 layers of fleece to tie.
Cut off the extra fleece on the sides.
Your done! Wasn't that super easy? You can add a pillow by cutting another square of fleece and placing it on top of the top part/the part with no knots. (If that makes any sense.) Sew 3 sides, stuff with fleece, and then sew the 4th side.
After I finished I hurried back to our cabin to try it out and get some pictures. As you can see Nadia photo bombed the first one. :)
It was so warm and cozy that I had to take a little nap!
What have you been doing at Camp Doll Diaries?

That's adorable! Where were you able to find fleece?
ReplyDeleteI got the fleece at Hancock Fabrics (hancockfabrics.com). You can also find fabric at Joann's (joann.com), Walmart, or other crafts stores usually have fleece.
