The obsession continues. While on vacation, I found myself at the Carter’s outlet store in Williamsburg where my mother-in-law and I got a little excited to say the least. Coming home, I realized that (as fun as it is to shop for baby, and I really do mean that) I can totally sew up some clothes that are just as adorable as Carter’s. That won’t stop me from shopping there again (I live about 40 miles from the outlet). But maybe I won’t blow the baby budget out of the water. ;)
I drafted a pattern for these little dresses using a Carter’s romper for basic measurements. Otherwise, I’d be lost. I have no idea how big a 6 month old is anymore. Since the straps are adjustable, these should fit for quite a while. I could even add a ruffle to the bottom if Baby gets too long.
I’m a bit surprised by how much having a baby inspires me to make stuff. I have an ever-growing list of things I want to make, and I’m scouring my craft book library once again.

Those little dresses are so cute, and a little girl, how exciting!!
Here’s another cute sunsuit pattern to add to your list, I wanted to make one of these for Polly last summer but didn’t get around to it!
