Ok, so I have always LOVED those hanging cocoon's. But, I am a safety girl, and I have never thought that they were safe. I would never want to put my newborn in one. So, I decided that even though they are soooo cute, I was never going to make up a pattern for one.

But, just recently I had an idea. I could make up a pattern for a VIRTUAL hanging cocoon (it looks like it is hanging, but it really isn't). That way, I get my safety, and I get to use these adorable photo props. So, I have written up a pattern, and it is now for sale in my etsy shop.

None of these babies are actually hanging, they are just set against a backdrop, and someone behind is holding up the strap so that it just looks like they are hanging! No worries! I actually got to take the one below (yay!) and I just put a few pillows behind the backdrop to set the baby against, and had the mom hold up the strap. It worked out PERFECT!!
