Baby {J} , is one
big boy! I have a few baby sewing books that I've been eyeing since my pregnancy. I convinced myself to wait until we knew whether we had a son or daughter to start "really" sewing for him or her.
Well, at 3 months old, [yes, he turned 3 months over the weekend-time is flying] he is already in size 12-month clothes. [yikes!] Many of the baby patterns in books only go up to a size 12, or 18 month size. [blah-for people whose babies come out around the 9-10lb range!] I figured I better get going if I wanted to use a few of the patterns. These are the first pants I made specifically for {J}-many, many to follow. He has a matching dog shirt that didn't make it into these pictures. These pants are made from a pattern in the Amy Butler book, Little Stitches. I'm going to try and make one of the fun hats in the book, while his head is small enough to fit.
The new Anna Marie Horner book, is great because the sizes for babes, goes to 24m. I'm looking forward to making the little jacket in the book, and a few pairs of the quick Change trousers. I made a pair already [yes-super easy!], but they are still too large and will be winter pants.
May the next 3 months, be just as wonderful as the first 3 with you baby!
Did anyone else have the Mr. Men-Little Miss books growing up? They were some of my favorite books. [ohh, Mr. fussy!] A few years back, they came back into my life as a new cartoon show. The older kids loved it! I would sit and watch with them while nursing Little {L}. It was a fun bridge between my childhood & theirs. They show only lasted a few months, but they still talk & laugh about it. I came across this flannel fabric a few weeks ago, and knew they needed it! I was even able to include Baby Unicorn with the leftover pieces from Mr. {D}'s. We have a few of the books that were mine as a child, Little {L} loves reading them, while wearing his new pj shorts.
