For Baby
March 4th, 2009
I made this little set this weekend. There’s a burp cloth, bib, and onesie. The fit on the bib is a little better than the first one I tried, but I still think it’s off. I didn’t have a pattern or sample to work from. That’s an elephant on the onesie that I appliqued and then embroidered its little tail. I had originally thought I’d embroider the word elephant, but after I put the invisible ink on I wasn’t happy with it. I have some sort of aversion to type on clothing. I don’t have one thing in my wardrobe with type on it.
I made quite a few additional baby things over the weekend; it was so fun to have some time to craft and some simple projects that complete so quickly. I worked on the quilt some, too. I think I’m about a quarter of the way there with the hand quilting. I’m sure I will hate the intricate pattern I chose to quilt here soon.

So cute! I love projects that you can complete in a day or two. Every sewer needs that “instant gratification” every once in awhile. Especially if you are working on a time intensive project like a quilt!

I have that same fabric! Your baby will not only be cute, he’ll be surrounded by cuteness.
