Lullaby Layette Pants and Onsie

When selecting which garments to make, I took advice from our resident baby expert, Tiffani. She told me that baby Q used the onesie from the Layette set all the time, so I knew that needed to be on the list. I also knew I wanted to make a couple of pieces that could be mixed and matched, so I decided to include a few pairs of pants. Since the pants only take a 1/2 yard of fabric and almost no time to complete, I made more than one pair to include.

The onesie is made up in one of Ellen Baker’s super soft double gauze metallic prints. I wanted to keep things cozy, yet stylish, for a full body garment. The neckline is finished with a silky jersey bias tape. I figured the pants could handle a more structured fabric so I picked a few of the Paint canvas prints. For the pockets, just a dash of Robert Kaufman Arroyo in a perfect dusty pink color. They both turned out so cute!

For the sizing, I took more sage advice from Tiffani. After her baby shower she had tons of 0-3 month clothes but not much in larger sizes, so I made next size up, 3-6 months. Hopefully baby will be able to get a bit more use out of them this way!
