Sewing Gifts - Babies & Kids Clothes

My friend recently had a baby girl so I decided to make some baby clothes, so cute, quick and fun to make.  I then realised I had better make her older daughter something too.

BurdaStyle 07/2008 134 Babies Dress & Pants




This set is made in some very sweet cherry printed cotton, there are a few silver glittery bits on the fabric so I was careful to use the wrong side of the fabric for the self lined yokes and armhole bias strips to avoid any scratchiness and flat felled all the exposed seams.






I added a small piece of satin ribbon so you can tell which is the back of the pants.




BurdaStyle 07/2009 - 139 Wrap Dress for Girls




I'm sure a wrap dress for little girls is an even more impractical choice than for us women, but I wanted to avoid any fit issues and maybe it will come in handy for getting dressed after the beach or pool?  I should have reinforced the neckline in some way, you can see it has rippled a bit, but otherwise I think this is really pretty and it was unbelievably quick and easy to make.  I'd quite like a bigger version for myself!
