So, I have been feeling a little guilty lately for not doing much for Bean III in the making stuff department. I would rather just know if the little babe is a boy or a girl before I go hog wild in the sewing arena…ya know what I mean? Well, lucky for me and my guilty conscious, I was flipping through Heather Ross’ Weekend Sewing last week in my purging and organizing craze (books were organized not purged, mind you!) and saw the Lucys’ Kimono Top Pattern. How cute was it!! AND, easy and fast to make…so I thought I would make one of each…one for a boy and one for a girl for a cute little Going Home Outfit.
Boy Kimono Top…
Girlie Kimono Top…
Plus, I made some matching bloomers from her Ruby’s Bloomers Pattern for the Girlie top just cause it seemed like the outfit wouldn’t be complete without them…I HEART bloomers! I had to guess on the sizing, since she only has patterns for 6-12 months and 18-24 months in the book, so hopefully they will fit a 0-6 months old. Although it seems to me (and the hubby) that these will definitely be fitting more of a 6 month old, here’s to hoping that a fluffy cloth diaper bum will fill them nicely 🙂

…and the Completed Girlie Set.
Now, we just have to wait and see which one little Bean III gets to wear home…only time will tell…we have 3 weeks to go!
Ooh, and I also have something fun to show you on Monday that I made for my hubs this week but I gotta get the pictures downloaded first…to be continued until then!!! Don’t you just love a good cliffhanger?
Those are adorable!!!
Cah-uuuute! And I don’t think the ‘boy’ one can’t be used on a girly. But then I don’t really get hung up on colors too much. 🙂
I really do love those bloomers. I hate there isn’t a 0-3M sizing for those in the book.
So cute! I love the Ruby Bloomers. I’ve made several for my baby girl. At 13 months, she still fits in the 6-12 month ones, so they do run a little big. I must say though, I don’t cloth diaper and I don’t make big babies… she is quite small for her age.
3 weeks left, good luck!
Too cute! We are expecting our little T #3, the first week of December. I am trying not to make loads of little girl things in hope for a girl, I did this last time only to pack them away when RAT arrived and was a boy. We are very nearly half way and still on the fence about finding out through ultrasound. I think we shall wait till we get to meet him or her to find out. I think I will borrow this idea and make an outfit for each.
I LOVE the bloomers! Is it weird that I want to wear bloomers? Sadly chubby thighs in bloomers are not as cute on adults as they are on little babes.
Isn’t that book so fun? My kimono didn’t turn out as good as yours, still learning:) Nice work, love the lil’ bloomies…
Love these! Super cute!
Ooh, I am hoping ‘girl’ so you can post pics of her in those bloomers! soooo cute!! Of course, the boys one is adorable too, but the bloomers…
🙂
So cute! I can’t wait to see which one it will be!
Take care
