Homemade Sleeping Bag

For school Sebastian needed something to take his afternoon nap in..
Could I just got a little pillow and blankie somewhere?
No
I had to get big ideas about making a homemade sleeping bag.
and in typical Angie fashion I got a lil tired of my project half way thru.
But finally, one day before it needs to be at school I finished it.

Also, like most of the big ideas I get in my head,
my finished product didn't live up to my expectations.
But Sebastian is happy with it
so I guess thats what really matters.

I simply pieced and knottted a simple blanket,
bound the edges,
pieced the pillow case,
appliqued the little trucks on and embroidered his name,
sewed the two together
and finally added ties to tie it shut like a sleeping bag...

And wah-lah!
