My Boys Monday

Last week I made this outfit for one of my mother's coworkers (also one of my ex coworkers), who is having a boy next month. I really like how it turned out and I think I have JUST enough fabric left to make Nox an outfit too.

Here it is with a view of the onesie. The pattern for the pants was designed by Rae Hoekstra of Made by Rae.

and I LOVE it to pieces.

Outfit for Munch and Baby Shower Gifts

Last week my sister-in-law and mother-in-law threw me a baby shower. Super sweet considering Nox is my second!

Had to make Munch an outfit for the occasion. I used the Big Butt Baby Pants Pattern again and made him a tie shirt to go with. He loves it, I promise...he was just ready to party!

We got some great handmade gifts...my favorite kind :o)

Alisha from Crandallation made me this cute newborn hat! Can't wait to model Nox in it!
She also made these adorable stroller tag toys! Aren't they fun?
Great-Grandma Bobby made Nox a cute little pillow and pillow case.
And this guy! She said we could name him whatever we wanted. Munch has decided that his name is "Guy". He keeps stealing Guy from the nursery though, so I think we might have to make another one!

Okay...a little closer to catching up now, but a lot more to come!! Including nursery items, a wreath and more! At least I've gotten all the pictures taken care of!

Big Butt Baby Pants

This week I was given the opportunity to test out a pattern from Made by Rae. I was so excited when I saw that she needed a tester for these pants and in Munch's size too!

I got up early Tuesday morning and in two hours had whipped up Munch's 1st pair of Big Butt Baby Pants. The instructions were fantastic and super easy to follow, plus she has little tip boxes mixed in that are great. :o)

After I finished the pants I had to wait for Munch to wake up....sometimes it's nice that he thinks he's a teenager...other times it's agonizing.

He finally got up and I put the pants on immediately. Had to turn on Sesame Street so the boy would hold still, but once he did it was clear that they fit pretty great.

The pattern is made for cloth diaper babies and we (GASP) use disposable...so there was a little extra room in the back. Rae suggested folding over the waistband and it fixed the problem immediately. I LOVE these pants. They are so easy to make and they look so freaking cute AND there are just so many options to make them different and fun.

Munch loves them too! He refused to take them off so I could tighten and fix the waistline. I don't really blame him either...they look super comfy!

Made by Rae's pattern for Big Butt Baby Pants is now available here! I still have some nursery stuff to do, but I'm super tempted to just dive into my fabric stash and make another ten pairs of pants!!
