I just finished my first baby outfit ever! I guess I did make a baby kimono for someone once. But this is the first thing I’ve made for my own baby.
It’s a flannel sleeper, with snap closures. It’s supposed to be size 0-3 months but it seems really big. Oh well, we’ll see.

Next in line is another sleeper just like this one (I cut them both out at the same time) only in mint green fuzzy fabric. Then I’m planning on making a quilted kimono (the fabric is already quilted -it came from my Grandma like that).
This sleeper took much longer than it should have because the directions were wrong! There was a diagram/picture about sewing the booties that showed completely the wrong thing to do. It took me forever to figure it out because I’ve never made booties or anything remotely shaped like them, so I was trying to follow the directions really carefully. I kept thinking, “It seems like it would work so much better this way….” but it took me a while to finally ignore the directions and actually do what made sense. Then it worked perfectly! Gah!
I also finished the nursing top, but I can’t really model it because it doesn’t fit my belly right now. But I used this tutorial. It was a bit frustrating because it ended up being too low-cut at first, but I think I fixed it well enough.
