Hello Cuties!

This is a Diaper Set I made for my friends new grandson. I have included a photo of the whole gift I sent, which includes a burp cloth, a pacifier clip and changing pad, with the waterproof Baby Dry I love so well. I use it on the reverse of all Avery's bibs.
The anchor fabric is from Hobby Lobby, for the diaper set. The burp cloth anchors are a fat quarter, from Walmart. The navy gingham you can get most anywhere. The size labels I ordered, before I had an emb machine. The pattern is mine I used for the green and white set, I posted earlier here, in Sewing. The font for the pacifier clip, Alexander, is Apex 391.
I hope you enjoy looking, as much as I enjoyed making these, for little Alexander.-Toogie

I LOVE this. You are an exceptional seamstress for sure. I am going to have to take apart a baby pant thingy to see how they are stitched or go through Martha Pullen books again. Wished I'd paid more attention to her show on making the diaper bottoms. Still--whole ensemble is so cute.

It's so funny about these babies.
This is my friends 1st grand and my last.
We both found out the girls were pregnant, about the same time.
Then we both found out, they were due about 2 weeks apart, hers on the 18th & mine the 4th, although mine was to be taken a week early.
Then we both found out they were both boys!!!
Then we realized one of the names they were each considering, were the same name! (these girls have never met, as we live in different states,my daughter and her DIL)
I talked to my friend almost daily when it got close to the 18th, I was so excited for her!
The 18th passed and no baby.
Then my daughter goes into labor/water breaks and our baby is born on the 20th...hers came on the 21st!!!-what is the chance of all this happening to two friends families miles apart?!!-lol

Ha, ha-Nice phrase 'first mate'-Actually, they used to sail, but I didn't know this. It's just hard finding fabric suitable for a little boy, so when I came across this, I thought it would make up nicely. Thanks-Toogie

Toogie, the whole set is Adorable...and so perfect for a boy...I love it! What pattern did you use for the diaper cover?

Remember the green set? It was a set from my infant son (over 40 years old-lol) I ripped apart for the pattern, shirt and diaper cover.
I lined the cover with white, so that I could use the navy anchor fabric and make Gus one too. The only thing is I wish I had used white thread in the bobbin so she could reverse the bottom to an all white to wear with maybe something else. The reason I used the navy thread, top & bottom, I could see a dot of white thread, on the navy side stitching. I know, I'm too particular and it most likely wouldn't have been noticed especially after you run the elastic. Oh well, too late now so I may stitch Gus' with white.
