I know, more baby sets, but I had to show you this tee! The pants aren't very exciting.
But first, a brief rant... I made the pants on a whim. I had totally forgotten about this fabric, and when I saw it, had to make it into pants instantly. You know how it is... Anyway, while the background looks white, it is actually a very pale cream, so a white top looks strange with it. I went looking for a black baby onesie/tee. It's Halloween! Surely someone has black baby clothes!! Nope. Seriously, are parents who don't sew just doomed to have babies wearing pastels until the age of 2??? So, I needed to make a black tee.
The pattern is
Ottobre 06/2009-3, which is actually for a full jumpsuit, but I cut it off to make a tee. A BLACK tee!!
I added a paw print applique. I'm so pleased with the neckline binding on this top. Instead of stitching it to the right side and then flipping it over and stitching it down, I stitched it to the wrong side, folded it to the right side and tucked under the raw edge. Then I top stitched with a twin needle. I know black is hard to see, so you'll just have to take my word that it looks amazing!
Oh, and the pants are
McCall's 6223, which is a good basic baby layette pattern. As with all Big 4 baby patterns, it's gigantic, but otherwise fine. Apparently it has been recently reissued with a new number. My copy is labelled number
3665.
I hope all who are celebrating have a Happy Halloween!!!
