Don’t forget to enter the giveaway! A big thanks to Brindille & Twig to providing these patterns for the blog tour! Comfy clothes and her favorite swing are the perfect combination for naptime. She barely made it through a few pictures before this happened. You know a pattern passes baby’s test when she immediately snuggles up and goes right to sleep while wearing it. And the leggings pattern goes up to a 6T so those will last even longer! I’m glad the pattern has a short sleeve option and goes up to a size 3t – I plan to make many more of these versatile dresses over the next couple of years. I made another bodysuit dress and paired this one with tights and little baby shoes. I used the same style of snaps on the bib as I used on the dress and with my snap pliers, construction was super fast. I love how it changes the look of a solid colored dress! I’m sure I’ll be making more of those. I made a little bandana bib to match using a free pattern from Sew Journers and it is perfect for helping keep her clothes dry. ![]() The fit was spot on with some room to grow. She was a bit short on the size chart but I went with her chest and waist measurements and made her the size 6-9 months anyway. All cloth diapers seem a bit bulky at this age and clothing that fits well with them makes us all happy. One thing that I especially appreciate about both of these patterns is that they are both generously cut in such a way so as to accommodate a fluffy cloth diaper bum without needing to size up. These D rawstring Leggings: 22 paired with this dress perfectly. The waist seam is high enough that the bodysuit dress can be paired with leggings for warmth. The waist seam is thoughtfully designed so that it is between the right side of the bodysuit and wrong side of the skirt and so there isn’t a seam to rub against baby’s belly. I love how this little dress has the coverage of a bodysuit – even when she pulls up her skirt to play with it, her belly won’t get cold. This project gave me lots of practice because there is binding around the neck, around the lower edge of the bodysuit, as well as on the sleeves. Usually when I sew with knits, I opt for patterns that have a band option, but I tackled the binding on this pattern and I definitely felt like I had the hang of it when I got around to making the second dress. ![]() I started out with B&T’s Bodysuit Dress: 82 and used navy cotton lycra from Peekaboo Fabric Shop. I think every single one of the patterns at Brindille and Twig meets that criteria! I always see so many pictures of adorably squishy babies modelling their mama’s newest Brindille and Twig makes in the PDF sewing groups on Facebook but never had a reason to try out those patterns before now. Baby girl still spends a decent portion of her day snuggling and sleeping so I wanted to make something comfy, cozy, and cute. We’re always up for a new challenge, and today I’m sharing a little project I’ve been working on – sweet little baby clothes! Lately I’ve been sewing less and spending all my extra minutes snuggling my sweet new baby, who is growing up way too fast already! For this blog tour, I just knew I needed to try sewing baby clothes. Welcome to the Breaking Ground Blog Tour 2018! This week over 20 bloggers are joining together to break new ground by trying a pattern designer that is new to them, try new techniques, new styles, or whatever way they want to push themselves.
