I am going from 0 to 4 nieces and/or nephews in a period of 4 months! That means lots of sewing! :-)
First up is a baby girl due in July. It was really fun to put this little outfit together.
First, the
Itty Bitty Baby Dress by
Made by Rae. I used a good quality quilting cotton from JoAnn's. I made it in the 0-3 month size, to ensure that it will fit. The newborn size was tempting, but I thought the slightly larger size would be better.

It was the first time I've done piping, which was a lot of fun. I see more piping in my future! :)

It is super hard to find solids to match prints! Have you had that problem? I had to go to another fabric store to find a matching solid. It was a lightweight batiste, which works well for bloomers:

For the pattern above I used Rae's
Newborn Baby Pants pattern. I cut the leg about 1 1/2 inches below the crotch, and added elastic.
And then, a headband, of course.

All together:

I've been dying to post about this, but had to wait till after my sister's shower, since she occasionally reads my blog! Now that she's had her shower, I can share!
Next in line is my husband's half sister. She's due in August and isn't finding out what she's having till she has the baby. I haven't made anything for her yet, I'll probably wait to find out what she has before I make anything!
