One thing that I especially appreciate about both of these patterns is that they are both generously cut in such a way so as to accommodate a fluffy cloth diaper bum without needing to size up. These D rawstring Leggings: 22 paired with this dress perfectly. The waist seam is high enough that the bodysuit dress can be paired with leggings for warmth. The waist seam is thoughtfully designed so that it is between the right side of the bodysuit and wrong side of the skirt and so there isn’t a seam to rub against baby’s belly. I love how this little dress has the coverage of a bodysuit – even when she pulls up her skirt to play with it, her belly won’t get cold. This project gave me lots of practice because there is binding around the neck, around the lower edge of the bodysuit, as well as on the sleeves. Usually when I sew with knits, I opt for patterns that have a band option, but I tackled the binding on this pattern and I definitely felt like I had the hang of it when I got around to making the second dress. I started out with B&T’s Bodysuit Dress: 82 and used navy cotton lycra from Peekaboo Fabric Shop. I think every single one of the patterns at Brindille and Twig meets that criteria! I always see so many pictures of adorably squishy babies modelling their mama’s newest Brindille and Twig makes in the PDF sewing groups on Facebook but never had a reason to try out those patterns before now. Baby girl still spends a decent portion of her day snuggling and sleeping so I wanted to make something comfy, cozy, and cute. We’re always up for a new challenge, and today I’m sharing a little project I’ve been working on – sweet little baby clothes! Lately I’ve been sewing less and spending all my extra minutes snuggling my sweet new baby, who is growing up way too fast already! For this blog tour, I just knew I needed to try sewing baby clothes. Thanks for looking! Who would you sew the T-shirt dress pattern for?īe sure to follow me on Instagram for all my latest sewing inspiration.Welcome to the Breaking Ground Blog Tour 2018! This week over 20 bloggers are joining together to break new ground by trying a pattern designer that is new to them, try new techniques, new styles, or whatever way they want to push themselves. I will have to write out this infinity scarf pattern for a future blog post so you can crochet your own. Simple accesories such as a handmade cowl or scarf are a fun finishing touch. I think the simplicity of this dress pattern really shows off the beauty of these fabrics. And you can see the influence of her palette painting technique in many of them. I think I could find something to made with every print from this collection as well! The color combinations are really uniqe and spot on with current trends. This is Bougainvillea Evergreen in Knit from her Sage collection. The next dress below is also made from gorgeous fabric designed by Bari J. I think I could use every single print in this entire collection, Bari J’s work is just stunning. This dress is made using Paradis Sweet in Knit from Bari J’s Joie de Vivre collection. I love that my girls can be comfortable but still adorable in these gorgeous knits by Art Gallery Fabrics. I always use a zigzag stitch with knits if I can’t use my serger. It includes instructions for sewing with and without a serger. They love the long sleeves and my oldest even commented how she liked the tightness of these sleeves…not too loose. I used the T-Shirt Dress Pattern to make these dresses for my daughters. The sizing is always spot on and I know that every time I use one of these patterns, it’s going to come out great! They are so easy to use, with just the right amount of instructions. I have several Brindille & Twig patterns and they are my go-to patterns for baby gifts. My daughters are five and eight and really started loving my sewing creations when I started using more knits. I just love using knit fabrics to sew for this age. Melissa makes adorable sewing patterns for baby and little kids. I have been a big fan of Brindille & Twig for quite awhile now.
