Baby Summer Clothes Diaper Shirt



Londyn is so silly!

My pattern "Baby's Summer Clothes" has been reprinted three times because it is just so darn cute!

If you look close you can see the Shadow Embroidered Chickie that has been a part of the pattern since the beginning. 

There are several different garment/styles in the one pattern.

There is a bubble that goes under this Diaper Shirt but Londyn  frequently wears Fancy Pants with it.

I have learned so much about practical and pretty baby clothes since Londyn was born.
Baby's can not crawl in dresses! They just can't.  We were always tucking the hem in her ruffled panties or tieing it up behind her back.


The Diaper Shirt is perfect for the crawling baby.  She can move around unencumbered by her clothing.  And still be adorable!

Here is the Boy version!

The Bubble that can go under the Diaper Shirt or use alone.

Toot Sweet!!

Redwork Embroidey on Old Fashioned Baby Clothes!

Suzette made this cute Brother/Sister set of garments from my Baby's Summer Clothes pattern.
She did the embroidery in Redwork (which really just means embroidered with red floss).

I love them!

In this picture you can see both outfits completely.  The Diaper Shirts are made from white Finewale or Babywale Pique.  The under Bubble is red gingham.

Too Cute!!

And the close up of the sleeve shows you how Suzette used a Swiss Edging that has entredeux trim to finish it.  Then she wove red floss in and out of the entredeux holes.  

The boy sleeve (and collar) is trimmed with a red gingham piping.

She also made my Redwork Bubble from Best Embroidered Baby Clothes 2.
This is a garment that I made for Sew Beautiful Magazine.  See here for a post about it.

I love it when I see my garments made up!!

Cute Baby Summer Clothes

Suzette's cute creations using my Baby Summer Clothes pattern.

Straight Sleeve for a Boy on the left.

And a puffed sleeve and lace trimmed collar for a girl!

Complete with the bubble underneath it.

She used an outline and backstitch for the little Chick instead of Shadow embroidery.  

It's very cute!
