The babynest is sewn from two pieces of fabric.
You can choose to use different fabric for the inside and outside or have the same, and both woven and knitted fabric will work (see video below on how to choose fabric for your Babynest).
The babynest is pulled together with a cord or ribbon. Choose what you think suits your fabric best.
The measurements of the finished Babynest is approx. 85 cm x 50 cm (34" x 20") on the outside. The bottom is approx. 65 cm x 35 cm (26" x 14") and the circumference of the edges is approx. 30 cm (12").
BONUS: Pattern for a removable mattress that makes the babynest both a little cozier and more practical. The pattern + video tutorial for the Babynest mattress is automatically received as a bonus when purchasing this pattern.

common questions
How are PDF patterns delivered?
The pattern is delivered as a .zip file to your inbox within 30 minutes of purchase and contains:
- Step-by-step instructions with accompanying images as a PDF file
- A pattern sheet for home printing (several pages A4)
- A pattern sheet for printing at e.g. printing office (one page in large print format)
The pattern for home printing (size A4) needs to be assembled before use. Here you will find a video on how to assemble PDF patterns.
What does stretch percentage mean?
The term "stretch percentage" is used to indicate how much a fabric stretches.
This should not be confused with the proportion of elastane present in the fabric (eg jersey 95% cotton, 5% elastane).
Some patterns are created with a certain percentage of stretch in mind, and if your fabric has a different percentage of stretch, you may need to adjust the size.
In all By Sandramaria patterns' product descriptions, it is clearly stated if you need fabric with a certain stretch price to be able to sew the project. In that case, you see this even before you buy the pattern.
You can e.g. use this stretch guide to determine the stretch percentage of your fabric.
