Baby Sewing

A while back, when our Border's was going out of business, I snagged a couple of sewing books.  One happened to be Growing Up Sew Liberated by Meg McElwee.

This book is chock full of super adorable things to make for babies and kids.  I can't wait until this little guy is old enough for the teepee on the front cover.  Our grandma made us a similar one when we were little and it was so much fun.  

A week or so ago, I tackled cleaning out my super messy sewing room closet to discover quite a bit of scrap knit fabric.  I remembered that there were quite a few knit things in Growing Up Sew Liberated, so I decided to make a couple today.  I made the "All-by-myself Bib" and the "Baby Sleep Sack."

I love this envelope style design.  There is a little PJ set with an envelope T-shirt that I might try to make soon.  If you sew and have babies or little kids, I would highly recommend this book. Now I can't wait until I have a cute little model to show off my creations (the cutting mat just isn't doing them any justice)!
