DIY Baby Clothes to Sew
Winter has finally arrived, and one of our top priorities is making sure our babies will stay warm and cozy. The chilly weather can make them irritable and uncomfortable, and even worse, children under the age of two are prone to hypothermia and frostbite.
Regardless of what other people say, it’s still okay to take your babies out as long as they are wearing the right clothes.
When the weather gets colder, I know exactly what sewing project I am going to make. I have several friends who have, and soon to have babies at home, and I was looking for a unique gift for a baby shower.
These DIY baby clothes I have collected are the perfect tailored gift to make for the little angels. Unlike store-bought clothes that are extremely expensive and hard to fit, making DIY baby winter clothes come out a lot cheaper and more convenient.
Plus, I get to select the best fabric to use that will assure their baby’s comfort. So, let’s check the list below of the DIY baby clothes to make.
1. Footed Baby Pants
If you hate putting socks on a wriggly baby like most mommies, then you’ll love these footed baby pants. These footie pants are really comfy and will keep your baby’s feet nice and warm.
This pattern is sized for newborn baby clothes, however, you can still adjust the size according to your baby’s measurement.
2. Newborn Baby Onesie
Baby onesies don’t need to be plain or boring; you can make baby clothes that have cute designs, bright colors, and different styles! These long-sleeved onesies are great for cold weather, too.
It fits perfectly over a diaper, and the bottom is easy to access for quick diaper changes.
