One of my best friends is pregnant and due in the middle of August. A while ago she gave me some of her older clothes since she was going to donate them anyways. In the pile of clothes I found a shirt that I knew meant a whole lot to her, and then got to thinking.
I decided to make a baby sleeper and surprise her.
Cut off the most of the sleeves of the shirt and pinned the sides and remaining sleeves a couple inches inward:
After sewing along the pins I added some elastic to the bottom of the shirt. I used the seam that was already there and threaded the elastic through.
I cut the extra sleeves apart then sewed them to each other to make a cut hat. I can’t remember how big a baby’s head is so I make the top adjustable. It is simply tied together with some yellow fabric. If it is too big or small the tie can come out and easily sized to fit perfectly.
And here is the finished product, can’t wait to see her little babe wearing this!
Yes, my friend is from Iowa, and very proud of it. Go Hawkeyes! right?
This is my favorite sign from Iowa, heck yeah Fields of Opportunity!
