I told Jake I would make him pajamas for Christmas, and now a month later they are done! They were pretty simple actually and turned out great. They are a little too big but thank goodness for elastic and comfy pj pants. This is my very first item of clothing that I have sewn from scratch!
Lee and I got fabric to make our own Moby wraps - its a baby carrier. It's just 5-6 yards of stretchy knit. She saw an idea to put a square of cotton in the middle for extra support, to help find the middle, and because its cute! So here is my first moby wrap with the panel sewn on.
My next project was to try making a collapsible basket. They look so cute and handy. I planned on making a bunch - for baby clothes, diapers, mail to look at etc.... But after several hours of frustration I'm giving up the basket business. The corners are just too hard. It looks cute from pictures but it has a LOT of character :)
Attaching the bottom was the hardest part and it just went downhill from there. Maybe Lee can figure out a better way to do this, because they are pretty cool.
