It’s nap mat season again! Can you believe it?
Since Quinn is joining big sister at school this Fall, she needs a bed roll of her own.
I followed the original nap mat tutorial with the addition of Ouinn’s embroidered name. If you would like instructions for a removable pillow, follow Jaime’s tutorial. If your daughter loves her mat so much that she wants one for her doll, check this out.

I'm probably a total idiot, but what is a nap mat for? (of course to take a nap on, but why not in their bed?)
For naps at school.
That is an awesome present. Even though my son doesn't need one for school- I will make one for when we go on away trips.
I love your bed rolls! But alas, am not brave enough to make one yet! My Atticus is starting kindergarten tomorrow, so I took one of those Kindermats, made a big red flannel pillowcase for it, a flannel robot pillow and a rag edge quilt with red, blue, orange and robot flannel. I tucked it all in a 99 cent TJ MAXX "Save the Children" reusable bag. Atticus loves it!
Sarah! I absolutely love that you chose Atticus for your sons name! I was going to name my Joseph Atticus, but alas, I was paranoid about him being picked on, so he became, Joseph Atticus. Glad you were more brave than I!
Okay, Quinn's hair in that last photo . . . I covet, I want! SO CUTE! Sadly, my hair is dark, straight, and not baby-fine-in-a-good-way. But, oh, that photo is divine!
I just found your site searching how to make a bow tie. LOVE IT! Added you to my reader. Excited to explore the archives and see what's next!
I really love these. I was actually looking at the ones they were selling at Joanns yesterday and then said to my husband "I could make one of these on my own" – and here you are!! Might need to tackle that some time!
I am looking for the instructions for the nap mat. Do you still have them?
Your links are all broken! Every link (including those pinned on Pinterest) sends me to your home page.
Ahh, these are old URLs, thanks for pointing this out. i will update them now!
I still can’t find the original nap mat tutorial and it is exactly what I need for my granddaughter starting kindergarten. Pretty please, can you help?
