Since we still have snow on the ground here in Northern Michigan, it seemed appropriate to show you what we've been wearing to playgroup. A nice brown wool sweater was the start for the wool longies, which I made with an extra long "waistband" that can be rolled down or worn up (you can see it here b/c he's reaching).
The sweater is made from a few sweaters, but my favorite part is the stripe added to the sleeves. You can't see it, but there's a squirrel on the front!
The hat is made from T-shirts, made with a pattern that was traced from another hat that a friend brought over. I love how it has the little knots on top!
Shoes came from another etsian, baby bug designs, and were custom made in brown ultrasuede.
What will I do when Fyn wants to choose his own clothes??? I hope he thinks his mom's work is cool!
After making several pairs of these for my little guy, I decided to share my version with those of you who are beginning to sew for your babies. You can find the tutorial here.
I added the squirrel and acorns to cover the moth holes in this cashmere sweater.
here's what they look like without embellishment...
