Those Blasted Velcro Dots

They are history. I was roped into Velcro's clever advertising about their "fabric fusion" which claimed that all I had to do was apply heat and it would "bind to fabric". In fact, the more you washed it, the tighter the bond would be! Amazing! In theory. Apparently they aren't all they are cracked up to be, as many of you have pointed out. The dots all came off. So, I switched to a sew on velcro that is supposed to be soft for children's garments. However, as many of you are letting me know---it's not so soft after all. So for the time being, there will be no velcro or other fix at the top. This really won't change the operation of the sleep sack in the least--the velcro was more a little extra if anything.

So what to do? Do I need something there to keep the zipper flap closed? Snaps--seem too hard right near the baby's throat. Hooks & eyes can come off and pose a choking hazard. My husband suggested magnets, but the only ones strong enough are fairly chunky magnets. Not too soft and cuddly, to say the least. I am going to work on devising some sort of pocket to tuck the flap into...I think. I'm going to mull it over for a couple of more days first. If you have any ideas, please let me know!
