Anyone have a sleeping bag pattern?
bettys · 06/07/2003 09:26
My nearly 4 ds, having stopped using one for a while now wants one again. He's a terrible wriggler and duvets & sheets always come off in the night. I've looked at grobag.com who seem to be the only ones who do age 3-6 years, and their designs are all too babyish (and very expensive) considering it might be a temporary phase.
Has anyone made their own?
whymummy · 06/07/2003 09:32
my mum makes them for babies,i could ask her if she can make you one or give me the pattern if you want to have a go yourself
bettys · 06/07/2003 09:53
Wow that was quick! I could make it myself. Would the pattern go up to age 4?
whymummy · 06/07/2003 10:11
im sure she can do a pattern for 4 or 5,ill ask her tonight
Chinchilla · 06/07/2003 11:12
I'd love on too, if that's alright. My ds is two, and we need to buy a couple more, as he is growing out of his current ones. I begrudge paying that sort of money, because they must be so easy to make.
bettys · 06/07/2003 22:14
That's brilliant whymummy, would be very grateful if it's possible. Now I just have to find some material with rockets/Thunderbirds on (!)
whymummy · 06/07/2003 22:39

suzyj · 07/07/2003 08:38
Ooohh, please could you let me know too? I'd like some 2-3 sized ones cos dd is big and a wriggler! Thanks so so much, this would really help right now.
bettys · 07/07/2003 10:10
And I thought I was the only one mad enough to try and make one! Thanks very much for this, whymummy.
whymummy · 07/07/2003 10:26

No problem Whymummy. I'll copy it and pass it on. Thanks very much, it's really sweet of you. Dh can only be pleased with me, saving the exorbitant cost of two grobags!
whymummy · 07/07/2003 21:44
great!shes sending them tomorrow so it takes 3 or 4 days for a parcel to arrive from spain by "el snail mailo",ill let you know as soon as it gets here
suzyj · 07/07/2003 21:45
Thanks chinchilla and whymummy (and whygranny!). How will you know how to send it to me? (mumsnet still-kinda-newbie...)
Have lots of lovely material stored up from other projects that never quite happened, am determined to do this one cos we need a summer-weight one especially, to take on hols.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Chinchilla · 07/07/2003 21:49
Suzyj - I'll contact you via the 'contact another Mumsnetter' option, and get your address. I presume Whymummy will do the same?! Thanks Whymummy - at least dh won't be able to moan about the expense, as I'll have saved him/us about £30! (See my recent 'shopping bill' posting!)
whymummy · 09/07/2003 12:25
hi everyone,we have a slight problem,my mum thought the patterns were for the same person so shes done them both on the same paper,silly whygranny!so i can ask her to do the 2-3 year old one again or betty could send it to chinchilla when shes finished,we can play "pass the pattern"let me know what you all think,betty if you dont plan on doing yours for a while ill ask her for the other
bettys · 09/07/2003 13:12
I'm happy to send the pattern on to Chinchilla - I need to do mine very soon as ds is so big for his old one he has burst the zip. Shall I send you my address via the contact another member?
And a big thank-you to whygranny for being so prompt.
whymummy · 09/07/2003 13:25
yes,send me your address via contact another member and as soon as they arrive i`ll send them to you
whymummy · 10/07/2003 11:11
bettys,the pattern arrived this morning and ive sent it to you already so you might get it tomorrow,i hope is ok but if you have any questions let me know and ill ask whygranny!
bettys · 10/07/2003 22:54
Efficient or what! Ok, will contact you when I need you address Chinchilla.
suzyj · 11/07/2003 10:26
This is so cool! Feel all virtuous and homespun. Look forward to hearing from you, Chinchilla
bettys · 16/07/2003 08:44
Pattern's arrived, thanks whymummy, will send it on to chinchilla in a couple of days. Cheers
bettys · 25/07/2003 22:00
Sorry whymummy for late reply (been away). Yes, it's fine thank you! Am sending it on to chinchilla. Isn't Mumsnet great?
Chinchilla · 25/07/2003 22:05

suzyj · 25/07/2003 22:07
Thanks Chinchilla! Come and have a drink in the 'funky bar' while you're online. We're all being common...
