Not to worry, this plush guy is not my baby! The seal puppet has been a baby stand-in for all things that require a size measurement these days. Ergo baby carrier, Moby wrap and swaddling practice... and now it is a model for my first home-sewn baby clothing item, a dinosaur fleece sack. It's not supposed to be a sleeping sack but I'm sure baby will fall asleep wearing it at some point. IF it fits. The seal is a little stuffed in there.
I fear it will be too small or the sleeves will be octopus-length or something. I made sure it would be easy to get over baby's head by adding a little piece of Velcro on one of the shoulders but it might be scratchy or uncomfortable or a fire hazard to wear. I am almost afraid of using it because it hasn't passed any stringent baby clothing tests (they have those now). I guess I've just got one option: test it on my own baby! Now I have to wait for it to show up for a fitting.
