Cuties, my daughter wanted me to make Gus a white shirt, or shirts, to go with his diaper covers. This evening I decided to make one. I also decided to make a little pocket and embroider an anchor. The design was on my Brother machine. Kam snaps in use again, down the front! Don't look too close at my stitching, I can't see well at night!-Toogie

I agree, it looks great - your family sure is lucky to have someone so clever spoiling them; hope you have fun with the dresses & the nautical outfit, too.

Excellent---And, I don't see a thing wrong with your stitching. Night time seems to be the time when I sew most, when I feel like sewing. You have fun!!!

Oh Patti, I am, he's a doll! You know how much I love to sew and sewing for babies is really my passion. I was in a hurry when I made the pocket addition, you know when DH wants you to do one thing and you're trying to finish up another. There was a scrap and it looked big enough so I hurriedly embroidered and attached.

peafarm by peafarm 22 Jun 2016

Yes, I know when DH calls--at least you got your little 'Gussy' shirt finished and it is lovely. Gus will shine wearing it.

No, no chocolate, carrots,green beans,etc. Of course, he is only on breast milk so no danger of any of those, yet. We love white on white too.

It looks great! You did it so quick. It would take me a day to cut out the pattern.

toogie by toogie 21 Jun 2016

Not this size Christine, as from collar to hem, is only 12 or 13 inches long. I cut out with my rotary cutter because its quick and easy on the hands. All the seams are short so it stitches up fast and I use my serger, so the seams inside are finished. Thanks for looking.

Gus is going to look so cute in this shirt. As I recall, you made some other nautical themed items recently, didn't you? I suppose Gus will have to have his own sailing ship soon! Enjoy him while you can. They do grow fast.

toogie by toogie 21 Jun 2016

You are correct about my other nautical items, but they were for my friends grandson. I have been having Gus's diaper cover bottom about made, but still have to make his shirt. I need to do it soon,as you said, they do grow fast.

Thanks mops, he is growing so fast, I can't believe he's almost 3 months old. She wanted something all white, for church, so I think she'll like this.
