It's funny about the brachiosaurus/giraffe confusion--Tamsin had a sleeper that was my husb& and my favorite (it was blue and green and made her look adorable) and it had an embroidered cartoon giraffe-like creature on it. Except, the giraffe-like creature was blue green with non-giraffelike spots, and kinda looked a lot more like a dinosaur. So we called it her "giraffe-osaurus" sleeper. She recently outgrew the giraffe-osaurus sleeper, which made us very sad.
Depending on how sad, you could cut out the giraffe-osaurus and appliqué it onto another sleeper. This process has the advantage of being repeatable. When she's too old for sleepers (and who ever is) you can frame it and hang it up.
Of course, if you handed down the sleeper to someone smaller than Tamsin, you're out of luck.
That is brilliant! Maybe I should just cut it out and make a pillow out of it for her. Embroider "Giraffe-osaurus" on it, or something.
I think that would be a great idea for a line of pillows with unidentifiable animals on them. After the giraffe-osaurus, I could do one of the critter on her mobile that might be a goat, that we've been calling the "Farmyard Phanatic."
