I wanted to start keeping track of my sewing progress and projects I've made so it's high time I finally start getting around to recording an outfit I've made. I think I've sewn as much for Ellie in her short life so far as I've sewn for Isaac since I discovered sewing clothes and started sewing for him (around a year I think?).
I think this is one of my favorite outfits I've sewn so far. Possibly because I finally got smart and made matching shirt/shorts. It is so nice not to have to hunt for another item of clothing to match one I've sewn.
First up is a cute baby onsie I made by combining Shwin Designs' Anytime At All Tee and the baby tank from MADE by Dana. I love the tank top look and I think it was quicker sew since I only had to do bindings vs the normal collar and sleeves. The neck opening ended up being a little big, but I think she will grow into it nicely since I made the 6-9 month size and she is almost 5 months. Next time I plan to extend the leg openings as they can be a bit of a tight squeeze with baby girls chubby thighs + cloth diapers. I may also add a small pleat in the back to compensate for the larger neck opening.
Up next are some baby shorts I made following this tutorial. I ended up making the leg cuffs a bit smaller and adding a waistband. I skipped the buttonholes since I didn't have any drawstring on had, but next time I think I would add it.
The headband is one I made for Ellie when she was a newborn and is definitely too small on her now, but I couldn't resist using it for pictures. Hopefully I'll get around to making one in a bigger size soon. I really just adore these simple bow headbands.
