Death comes in small packages

When I sent the package of baby clothes to my sister I absolutely had to attach something to my niece as well. So I knitted a beanie for her of Blend Bamboo (which I used in her Panda pullover of which I don't unfortunately have any picture). It needed something more so I sewed a button taken from my old cardigan. I also made her a necklace of plastic pearls which continue the pink and light blue set of clothes I made her last year.

These diaper pants I knitted before my sister gave birth. Also made matching socks and mittens. Yarn is from Viking Garn and it is named Baby ull (colour 329) that I bought from Lankamaailma. Pattern for the diaper pants is from Moda 6/2012. Here is a picture of the whole baby package I sent to my sister. Hopefully they fit and will be used.

 I absolutely fell in love with this fabric. It's named Pupuset (=bunnies) and I bought it from Kui Design 's Local shop. They sell similar clothes made of this fabric but I wanted to do these myself. It came cheaper and is more personal. The fabric is organic cotton so even that should work with the baby skin.  I made these clothes in size 62 (cm) and all the patterns are from Ottobre 6/2009. These were in the package I sent to my sister's son. There was some black star fleece left from the fleece hoodie/shirt I made to my nephew Weeti. I made pants of the leftovers. The only sad thing about these clothes is the fact that these are so cute I wish I had a kid of my own who could wear these..

Made a blanket for a new family member. My sister gave a birth to a son in April so I made a whole package: blanket and baby clothes. The baby blue star fleece I bought from Jättirätti and the panda is ordered from Spoonflower. Didn't think about at all and I just fell in love with a couple of fabrics and ordered quite a lot of them. Paid my dues when I got info from the customs.. I had to pay a bit extra for the fabrics because of that. Next time I order every fabric separately and in smaller pieces.. One thing that I didn't get in to the pictures is a "secret" message on the blanket. To attach the fabrics to each others I sewed all sort of hearts to the blanket as well as the word "Love". The word is upside down on the left hand side when panda side up.
