Baby Sleepers

My 12 year old daughter came to me on Tuesday after school and said, "Hey Mom, my class at school is hosting a surprise baby shower for our teacher on Thursday.  Could you sew me two sleepers to give as a gift?"  I had a meeting to attend Tuesday night but I managed to whip these up yesterday (Wednesday).

I had so much fun making these.  There is nothing like sewing up bitty baby clothes.  Seriously makes me (almost) want another wee one.  I said almost!  LOL  

Pattern used is Ottobre Autumn 2005 issue, design #2.  Size 56 (newborn).  I've made this sleeper for my own babies.  I love sleepers with front zippers.  Makes for easy and quick diaper changes. 

I had to make these gender neutral -- though I do think they look very boyish to me.  Fabric is a soft cotton interlock.  Love the farm animal print.  

This sleeper is sewn up in a cozy white velour with green accents.  It's so soft and cuddly.  

I love this embroidery applique from Swak Embroidery.    So cute and stitched out beautifully!

I hope her teacher likes the sleepers. 

Happy Sewing!
