"baby pants"
I’ve had no less than nine friends and family members give birth to boys in the past year. NINE. Can’t think of a single baby girl though…why is that?? What is up with the baby boys?? I would be lying if I said I was able to make handmade gifts for all of them, but I did manage to finish and gift this little boy quilt last week:
This ladder quilt was inspired by this quilt on the Cloud 9 blog, which in turn was inspired by this post by Lu Summers. There’s a tutorial for Michelle’s version on the Cloud 9…
Thanks for entering! This giveaway is now closed, but you can come back tomorrow morning for another lovely giveaway!
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… a partridge in a pear tree,
and Rae gave to me…
…a pattern for Big Butt Baby Pants!
This pattern has inspired tons of serious cuteness. Here’s just a glimpse of some recent contributions to the flickr pool:
1. grey owls, 2. denim with owl, 3. car jeans, 4. brown cord board shorts
To enter to win a copy of the Big Butt Baby Pant Sewing Pattern, just leave a comment by 9 PM tonight (EST). One…
our little beach baby (wearing thrifted-sheet-turned-Big-Butt-Baby-Pants)
We had a wonderful holiday weekend. It was a little busy; we hung out with my seesters and their husbeasts and went to see Cinematic Titanic in Ann Arbor (any MST3K fans out there?) then drove over to West Michigan to spend time with Mr Rae’s parents. Hard to decide if the best part there was their pool, fabric shopping at Field’s, or swimming in the most beautiful lake in the world? Of course I’m biased but if you’ve never been to the amazing beaches of West Michigan, you are truly missing out. Having lived in the Bay Area for a couple of years and vacationed on…
I made another sunsuit. These are becoming my go-to summer outfit the more hot and sticky it gets here in Michigan and they’re easy and fast. I am also pretty excited about this reversible baby bonnet. It’s been in pattern purgatory for weeks, a little too baggy in back, a little too short at the ears. But finally I cracked it. And two bonnets for the time invested in one? Excellent.
If you missed the tutorial for this sunsuit the first time around, you can find it here. Although be warned, I’ve already figured out a better…
I’m still working to fulfill my goal of making more outfits than Baby C will be able to wear this summer, haha. My latest effort from the baby-sewing dept, Bunny Capris:
I know they practically look like shorts here but try and remember that C is a cloth diaper baby. The fabric is Riley Bunnies by Anna Griffin (and hey look it’s ON SALE at Fabricworm right now…full disclosure: FW was one of my STW sponsors but I do not receive any sort of compensation for mentioning the shop, just trying to provide you with a place to get it).
The pattern is my…
Hey, thanks for all the quilt love! You guys are so good at affirming my craftiness!
Wanted to share two more projects made with the Red Letter Day left over from the quilt. I can’t get enough of these cute ducks. Here’s a Lickety Split Bag:
and a pair of 6-12 month baby pants, need to make a matching onesie or something yet:
We had a couple of nice sunny days this week despite the coooooold weather. I took a few shots of my cozy sewing room which also doubles as a guest room. Here’s a vintage dresser from my parents with some of my craft/sewing/knitting books:
Oh hey now let’s go in just a little closer, shall we??…
I wish I had remembered to take a “before” picture. This used to be a short-sleeved sweater from Express. I never wore it because it was too tight, but I always really loved the stripes and colors. So I flattened it on my cutting table, put my pants pattern on top (minus the butt panel; I figured this one was stretchy enough that it would fit over E’s cloth diapers just fine) and cut away.
It was a little nerve-wracking, to be quite honest. But they fit him great and definitely look cuter as baby pants than on me, so I’m happy with the result.
The giveaway ends tonight. Last chance!
For you to sew!
