Baby

I have made my babies first outfit.
Would you like a peep?
Its the gorgeous new pattern by Oliver+S
The Lullaby Layette
It is just so sweet!
First up, the body suit.
I sewed this is charcoal hailspot muslin that two of my sweet friends  Sarvi and Colette bought for the baby.
This can be made with short or long sleeves.
It has a good length front tab, a poppered opening for nappy changes and sweet elastic gathered legs.
The poppers I purchased from the Oliver+S shop
Good and roomy too, I am pretty sure it will go over a cloth nappy.
The back has a nice pleat to add some room with out being too pouffy.
Next up the top.
I made is up in white hailspot muslin.
Again you can make it short or long sleeved.
I used sweet teddy bear MOP buttons sent to me by my sweet friend  Claire. Red thread to complement the cardy that was the inspiration for the whole ensemble.
The top has a gentle A-line that falls beautifully in a soft fabric.
The pants are deliciously bloomy.
The back leg wraps around the front, a very cute detail.
And speaking of the back.
Check out these pockets!
So cute.
Another lovely gift, some cute ribbon from the lovely MC, make a sweet tag.
Finally, the dear little fully lined jacket.
It has a very nifty construction (so clever) and a bound edge.
It could be worn completely reversed.
As advised I used poppers for fastenings.
How lovely is this?

 All these lovely things were made to co-ordinate with the absolutely breath taking cardys knitted for me by my sweet friend, Sarvi.
This one, sigh
And this little cutey!

 Aren't I spoilt?

    This will become very well dressed baby, and how could it not be with your sewing skill and so many lovely gifts contributing to the garments.

      I cried when I opened the parcel Shelley. Just so perfect.
      The wool is like nothing I have ever handled.
      Sarvi has the most exquisite taste.
      Thank you!

      Thank you Inder, it is such a lovely sew but with the bound neck and edges very 'finished' and very 'O+S'.

      We are all getting quite excited!

    I have no wee babes to sew for nor are any on the horizon for another decade or so but I am buying this pattern and shamelessly copying you. You are my inspiration! Congratulations on the impending arrival, by the way. Your babe will be beautiful in these threads.

    Wow- it is all beautiful! Nice to see close-ups of the different items. I just ordered the pattern and we'll see if my chunky guy can still fit into the biggest sizes. If not, they'll be good gifts I suppose. And those sweaters are absolutely lovely. Look forward to seeing pictures of a very well-dressed baby!

      Thank you Elizabeth, I hope it fits!
      I think it would make wonderful grown up baby shirts with the bottoms in denim.

    These are just too precious and all filled with so much love. It's exciting too as you enter the last trimester. Not much longer to go!
    When the new baby arrives, will you change your blog name or simply name the baby "and Counting" to avoid confusion :)

    Three months to go Deb and I am sure it will fly by.
    Thank you, it is a gorgeous wee layette to sew.
