Hooded Sleep Sack for Baby

Today I finished the hooded sleep sack I've been working on for Valerie's baby.



This is the first time I've sewn fabric to a knitted piece. It was a little tricky, but I managed. Some parts, like the sleeves, had to be hand sewn because I didn't want to contort myself too much to make them fit in the machine.

It's a little hard to tell in the pictures, but there's a zipper that closes up the front.



And since I don't have a baby to model this on, and I didn't think the cats would sit still long enough for a picture, I decided to let Joe's monkey try it on.



I think it needs a cute patch for the front. What do you think?
