A while ago (over a year ago) I discovered the Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop and loved what I saw but never bought anything. "Why?" you ask? I don't know.
I love her patterns.
Now I own only 5. I say only because I want more and it is a miracle that I haven't purchased them all! How can you go wrong? They are wonderful! And range from 3-6mos to about a size 10-12, on average! So much better than the big company's patterns...
One of the patterns that I have I finally made. The Hangout Hoodie.
I wanted to make it for Samara, but shirts just ride up while holding her. So instead I wanted to do a onesie.
But before I started that I needed to try it regularly first. And both were re-purposed old shirts of mine! I love re-purposing! Enter little man...
I loved how it turned out. And not having a serger I think I did pretty darn well.
So then, enter the Onesie attempt. Not bad if I do say so myself... Brandon said it looked store bought! Awesome!
It is a bit big, but then I made it to fit Samara to the end of the winter! She is currently in a size 0-3 months, though quickly outgrowing that size. I made this one about a 6 month size. And she has a big butt when sporting the cloth diapers! :)
I have since added extra snaps to the bottom so it closes better. And I think my little girl looks just adorable in the hoodie!
I just used a current onesie I had and traced down the shirt 6 month size to the bottom. I also trimmed about a 1/4" on both sides of the front and back (1" all the way around) because my kiddos are so skinny! It makes it more fitted that way (the way most onesies are).
Who can resist those adorable blue eyes?
I think I need to make a pair of matching leggings! I feel so proud!
Yup, definitely need to make her a pair of leggings to make it an outfit!
And the pattern works for both boys and girls? Score!
So... Click here to visit Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop. and see what you like. Every Thursday she has an item usually about half off. And she has discounts for 3/5 items too! How awesome is that? And on the 18th she is doing a sew along for the Classic Footed Pajamas! What perfect timing for the cold nights, and the holidays! Christmas Fleece anyone?
Until next time,
This is sooooo cute!!! And, you are sooooo brave to not only sew for a itty-bitty baby, but also take pictures of her!! Thanks for linking up to "Flip this Pattern!"
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was fun, and thanks for hosting! :) It wasn't too bad sewing for an itty-bitty! ;)
DeleteSeriously, I love the fact that you made it into a onesie. I might have to attempt this for my own babies! And remember, you can always go get the PAB leggings...haha!
ReplyDeleteHehe, I know! I was eyeing those today! :) I think I may have to complete the outfit and go all PAB! I'm totally loving it and thinking I might need to try more as a onesie just because it is almost more practical... ;)
DeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteCute! Turning it into a onesie is such a fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
Deletesuper cute! leggings would be perfect. I've never made a onesie, but this is adorable... well done, love the flip! I made a fleece dino jacket with my hoodie pattern :o) Hope you can check it out sometime... fun challenge this month! Emily@nap-timecreations.com
ReplyDeleteThat's brilliant! i'm inspired to do the same for my little one now! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGenius! I love the Hangout Hoodie on it's own but this just makes it infinitely better for babies!
ReplyDeleteI love it too! And this does make it better for babies! I am so excited to see Her line for infants next year!
DeleteI really like this idea! I was too intimidated to sew for my daughter when she was this little, but this looks totally do-able :)
ReplyDeleteI really love this! I didn't sew for my daughter when she was so little, but this looks really do-able!
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of it! And it was totally do-able! :)
