Baby gifts

Two people I know just had their first babies, so it was time to pull out some onesies for embellishment!  The onesies in the left column are all long-sleeved 0-3 m size, and the others are all short-sleeved 3-6 m.  The blue shirt in the bottom is a 24m, for my niece.  I had some fun with these!  The red and green dinosaurs are for one friend's baby boy, and all the girl onesies are for the other friend's new baby girl.

I also made a baby sling for the baby girl.  Her mother's favorite color is blue, so I found a sky-blue linen look fabric at JAF and made a single layer sling, edging the sides with homemade bias tape from a tonal turquoise butterfly print.  I think it turned out super cute!  I hope that she likes it!  The sling rings were passed on by a member of my online sewing group, so this is my first time using real sling rings, as opposed to steel ones from the hardware store.

Birthday PJs

A friend's son recently had a birthday.  This is the same kid who got the baseball jammies for his birthday two years ago.  Apparently he loves them, so I figured a new pair of PJs would be a good thing.  I bought this flannel on Black Friday a year or two ago, specifically intended for boy PJs, so it was time to break it out.  Last time, I made him a size XS, with two inches added in the legs.  Since I wasn't able to get measurements from his mom, I just went up a size (she said the previous pair fit perfectly now).  


I heard that he loves them!  Woohoo!
