They finally came! I have been anxiously(and I might add, impatiently) waiting for my patterns from the Old Fashioned Baby and they finally arrived Saturday! Yay!!! I can't wait to get started:-)
Don't you think these are just darling?! I think each of these patterns sets will give me a wide variety of items for my little one. Now I just have to decide which fabrics to use with which patterns.
I also ordered 6 yards of baby tatting lace. I thought it would make a lovely trim to go along with the vintage style dresses. Isn't it sweet?!
My mind is just a-flutter with all I want to make! I have all my burp cloths pinned and ready to sew. I may do that tonight or tomorrow. And then I need to start with the little gowns and such.
I looked through some of my baby clothes last week and need to finish going through some other bags/boxes to see what can be used. It is so fun to do this. While doing so, I found some day gowns that were my MIL's when she was a baby and was thinking I needed to find a safe way of washing them. Some are a bit worn..but most are still quite usable. Does anyone have ideas on how to wash vintage day gowns/baby clothes?
Off to the sewing table:-)
Blessings,
Sommer

The patterns are just too adorable. What a perfect set of little things for a baby to wear. WHY do modern day baby things lack the picturesque prettiness of bygone times?
I don't know of any good ideas to wash the older gowns, unless you try hand washing them and lying them flat to dry. That is the only way I know how to safely launder older textiles that are still stable.
Do you use a pattern for your burp cloths or do you just make them up yourself? I need to make a new set or two myself. My other two babies were not bad spitter-uppers but I want to be prepared, just in case, and all my old ones are yellowy from prior use!
Thank you so much for the link to the tutorial. I had somehow missed that!
I'm going in this Friday morning - I've been counting the days, alternately excited and anxious. :) I'm scared I'll die or the baby will die even though I *shouldn't* think that so I will be glad once he is out and bundled and given to me. I can't wait to nurse a baby again! :)
Sommer,
What darling patterns, I love the lace as well!!
I have to agree with Sarah Jane.... "WHY do modern day baby things lack the picturesque prettiness of bygone times?" Happy Sewing to you! ;)
