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!
