I love giving handmade gifts and I love little matching layette sets! I made this little set (onesie, pants, booties) for my friend Kenesha’s baby shower. She is expecting a boy! I just LOVE this cute elephant flannel fabric that I found at Joann’s Fabric.
I used a gerber onesie and added the elephant applique. (see my applique tutorial)
I LOVE booties! These are the first ones I have made and they were really simple. I used the 3-Seam Footies pattern from New Conceptions. My friend Emily likes the kimono baby shoes from Homespun Threads. She uses felt for the soles which is a cute idea.
I made my own pattern for the pants. I wanted a wide leg roomy pant. I’ll try to create a PDF of it soon.
If I have time today before the shower (it is tonight) I want to try to sew a matching crinkle taggie toy or burp cloth to go with the set.

Ashley says
No…I got sidetracked on swimming with Sienna and another project. She LOVED the outfit though 😉 I hope the baby doesn't grow out of it the first day though!
