I made this jacket a year ago and posted some cute photos of the matching booties as well. Which reminds me… where are those booties?? So now my guy wears the jacket and I can give a much better pattern review! Pattern: Baby in the Hood from Anna Maria Horner’s book Handmade Beginnings: 24 Sewing Projects […]
More pants
We’re enjoying more of our “laundry miracle” pants. Pattern: Handmade Beginnings: 24 Sewing Projects to Welcome Baby Fabric: main fabric is unknown from a discount fabric store. Anyone recognize this pattern? The upper octagonal print is from JoAnn Fabric.
Now they’ve been worn!
Last year I sewed a couple pairs of pants from Anna Maria Horner's book Handmade Beginnings. I finally had a chance to put them on baby! Baby is wearing 6-12 month clothing right now. These pants are size 6-9 months. Yes, these pants are baggy and long. I love the length. Perfect for rolling the cuff. […]
