Sleepsack for Edie

This was my second and a half attempt at sewing a sleepsack.  The seams came together better, although not perfect.  It washed well and the left over material was used to make a sleepsack for Edie's baby, Diane. 

Expecting it to be washed often, I reinforced the bias tape with a decorative top stitch. Very sweet. 

Fall Swing Coat for Edie

 

This sweater is knitted with super soft yarn and should be handwashed for it to keep the feel.  It's wonderful to knit with.  Since this is for a child, I'm questioning myself and the use of fine yarn.  It's more enjoyable to knit with but I'm going to check out the washable yarns.  That's more practical for moms.  However, for tiny ones, feel is so important that I will stay with Debbie's yarn.
This swing coat turned out perfect.  It is light with warmth.  The button has blue in it to match the color of the "sweater" and large so little fingers can try to push it in the hole.

Cardigan For Edie, Size 0 to 3 months

March 2010


A warm, soft cardigan for little e. The hat is size 6 to 9 and sweater is size 0 to 3. My thinking would be that she might use another cotton hat underneath or use the hat longer. I wanted the sweater to fit NOW.


The post is not setting up right--I tried to fix it--lament--and I will not take pictures on the toilet again.
