Although I’ve known for a few weeks it’s only this week that my son & his girl friend have announced to the world that they are expecting their first baby in August. Exciting news…. grandchild number 3 for us & first grandchild for her parents. It’s been difficult to keep quiet about it!
I decided to do some secret sewing to give them a little gift after the first scan. Having found a lovely cotton jersey at Stone Fabrics, that I thought suitable for boy or girl, I decided to go for a little selection.
All of these were made from free patterns on-line.
The Stretchy hat with top knot is a favourite that I have made before, when my grand daughter was born. It quick & easy to do & super cute on!
Cute little dribble bibs are a must for any baby. This free Pattern is available in 3 sizes so I’m sure this is the first of many I’ll be making.
I wasn’t sure about shoes but when I saw these little Kimono Baby Shoes I knew they would complete the set.
Having bought half a metre of fabric I now just need to decide what to make with the rest of it as this took such a small amount. Waiting for the next 6 months to pass I sure there will be plenty more baby sewing & maybe a spot of nanna knitting too😃
Awwwww! This is so cute it makes my poor neglected ovaries bounce with joy!
What a lovely make and a great choice of fabric even if you did know the sex.
Thanks for the link!

Congratulations! I know that feeling – as soon as we knew we were going to be grandparents, I couldn’t wait to start making things. This makes such a cute set.

Yes I remember. I made a patchwork cot quilt for my first two grandchildren so I think that will become a tradition now!
