This is the first article of handmade baby clothes I've made for my little baby. The pattern is the Puppet Show Dress from Oliver + S. Very sweet and a really good pattern.
This fabric is what inspired the colors for the baby's room. The gold/red/turquoise combination accidentally popped up in an outfit I was wearing not long after making this dress. I was thinking about how much I liked it and then realized where I had seen the exact same combo. I'm really not into stereotypical baby themes like pastels or pink for girls/blue for boys. I think this palette is fun and playful but not super baby-ish. The walls will be a nice gold color with red gingham curtains and accents of turquoise. Not that any work has been done at this point but we'll get to that.
I also made a little pair of bloomers to match. This pattern is from Simple Sewing for Baby by Lotta Jansdotter.
Oh yeah, did I not mention? We're having a girl!
CUTE!
ReplyDeleteoh congratulations liz!! she will no doubt be the prettiest dressed little girl around.
ReplyDeleteSweeeeeet! Congratulations :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Very cute. I made a bunch of those bloomers for my babes back in the day (BTW, the small is "newborn"ish and the large is 3-6 month-ish, even though the picture shows a toddler in them - perhaps a very small toddler?). But congrats! And girl clothes!! I love to sew girl clothes. Might have to keep trying for #2 (or not).
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I don't follow the traditions either -- Jaxon's nursery was done in Hawaiian kitsch...
ReplyDeleteSweet dress. Sweet news. Congratulations.
