And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good.

While Conor’s getting hot and heavy with anything grill related, I’ve been keeping busy sewing. I decided to dash anymore projects I had intended for myself and get started on baby clothing! Last week I made some knit pants for Holly – 2 navy blue and 2 pink, one of each colour in 0-3 months and 3-6 months. I couldn’t resist adding some ruffles to the bum of the pink ones. I’m totally loving it! I did, however, resist making the navy blue ones girly just in case we get a boy next time around. And even though Conor dislikes headbands, I couldn’t help but make one! I’m waiting to finalize the length until Holly’s born. We were able to pick out her head earlier this week during a couple of days in which she had flipped around and it felt big!

And just because I love this fabric, here’s what I’m making my diaper bag out of:

I also managed to make a dress with a matching pinafore and diaper cover. It’s all wrinkly from the wash though (pictures later, when I feel like ironing… ha). And tonight I cut out another dress, pinafore and diaper cover combo for a fall/winter dress. So much to sew, sew little time!

I love the ruffly bum. And the headband is cute, not obnoxious.

How fun and adventurous! Baby clothes intimidate me. But you are a gutsy gal and i am glad you went for it! My latest crafty venture was making Evan Bean Bags for his Birthday. Fancy i know /images/smileys/icon_smile.gif I am curious to see if your diaper bag looks “homemade” -no pressure /images/smileys/icon_smile.gif It all looks so cute. And way to go on ignore Conor on the Headband… /images/smileys/icon_smile.gif love ya!

Look at you doubters. I am using a pattern for the diaper bag from Amy Butler’s Little Stitches book. It’s the “modern diaper bag.” Chillax, it’ll be fine. Or at least it better be since I spent a fortune on interfacing, etc.

Okay, those little butt ruffles are too adorable- nice work!  You continue to inspire Katie!  And OF COURSE the diaper bag will be wonderful!  When has something ever not turned out for you?!!!

If you can do this stuff, you can readily copy just about anything ready to wear, and save yourself a fortune! Nice job.
