My knitting group had a baby shower for my friend Tana last night. I couldn’t figure out what to make because she has already created so many beautiful sweaters, blankets and quilts herself. I decided to sew something instead. I figured her daughter is going to be the best dressed baby when the weather is cold, so she would need something for the warm weather.
I sewed the 12-month size with the hope that it will fit sometime next year between June and August. Estimating the size was tricky! I added a little extra elastic on the inside so Tana can adjust the waist if necessary. Luckily, the top ties in the back, so that should be an easy fit.
project notes: Pattern is McCall’s M5083. Fabric is from my stash. It’s one of my first and favorite purchases. I can’t believe it’s almost gone!
Lovely job! It is so classic and pretty!
Too stinking cute! Wish I had seen it in person. Now I’ll have to wait until it gets modeled. Very nice work Julie!
Oh, that is so sweet! I’m sure it will be much appreciated! :)
do you have one of those clover bias tape makers? if not, what did you do for that?

What a lovely outfit, I love it! I’m sure the little one will look adorable in it.
That is darling! Lucky little girl. Nice job!
This is soooo cute. I love handmade baby shower gifts, I think it means so much when people take time to make a gift themselves.
