This week I became an aunty again! My sister in Toronto had her third child, a little baby girl named Ellery. It's so hard to miss the big moments when my big sis lives so far away, but naturally I couldn't let this wonderful moment pass without a few handmade gifts.
Being a baby girl, I obviously included a bonnet for her. Both sides were made with Liberty and interlined with white cotton voile to prevent either of the patterns showing through. If you are interested, you can grab my pattern
here.
A traditional crocheted matinee jacket in violet cotton yarn.
Muslin wraps which are roll hemmed in fluoro pink thread.
A baby bubble suit, sized for the Canadian summer, made with Nani Iro double gauze. I first made this pattern for Adele when she was a baby way back
here.
And a new doll outfit for this vintage 'My Child' doll. My sister bought this for Adele as it's the exact one that I had as a kid, but I knew that my sister really wanted it. She just needed a girl baby. So I re-gifted it back to her and made it a new frock in Liberty.
I'm so excited for my sister. Having three kids in tough, but it's also so awesome.
I have so much more sewing to show. My backlog of items to blog is growing by the day.
Congratulations to your sister, and I hope you can catch up with her soon :). And in the meantime, what a generous, thoughtful sister you are - I'm sure ALL those gifts will be well-loved!
