This is the first baby item I've made using a pattern. I've been working on it for about a month on and off, whenever I had spare time. I finally had to tell myself that it's OK that it takes a long time to complete a project because it's just for fun and I don't want it to become a stressful thing on my to-do list. I learned a TON while working on this outfit. I think working from a pattern is a great idea if you want to learn a lot of the basic sewing techniques.
I used the medium sized pattern. Sophie will probably be able to wear this next Spring. This outfit is 2 pieces, top and bottom.
One of the great things about a simple pattern is that you can get creative with embellishments and making it your own. For this outfit, I picked a really bold fabric with a lot of color variation so it didn't really need much. I used a yo-yo maker and button-cover kit to make these little flowers for the bottom-right of the top.
