Baby Body with Air-Balloon Print

Children's clothes are so small and easy to make and for me the choice of colorful and happy fabric prints is the best part of making children's clothes. This time I found a very cute cotton tricot fabric with air-balloons! I tried to look for the name and the producer of this fabric on the internet but unfortunately I didn't find anything. Maybe you know?
I still have some of this fabric left and my fabric shop around the corner has tons of other cute fabrics so I will definately make more baby garments in the future  :)

For this body I used the same Burda pattern as also I used for this baby body with apple print I made for an earlier post. In that post you will also find the type of buttons I used for this garment and they are really easy to use, you just need a hammer and you will get a great result!

Babybody with Apple Print

As I have mentioned before I think it is fun to make baby clothes because they are small and thereby easy and fast to sew and knit. Last week I was strolling about in a fabric store called Ohlssons Tyger in my hometown and when I walked by the children's tricot department I couldn't help myself...! The fabrics were so colorful and cute so I just had to buy some. When I got home I found a cute little baby body pattern in one of my Burda Style magazines and in five hours I made this cutie!
The fabric I used for this baby body is a tricot fabric called "Applelicious" from Poppy (this link is to the only online shop I could find who had this fabric, you can change language in the bottom of the homepage)

It does not take long to finish this kind of  garment and I did not use any special tools to get a good result. This type of body only contains four pieces and the only things you should remember is to first use a narrow zigzag stich to prepare all the cut fabric edges and then use straight stitches to make the nice finish. You can also use overlock but I think zigzag stitches is just as good.

I thought the buttons Prym 10 mm Jersey would be difficult to manage but in the package I got a plastic stick which allowed me to get a nice look just by using a hammer!

So, my point is that it really is easy and you just need ordinary sewing knowledge to make this kind of garment, so if you are inspired just go a head and buy a pattern and some cute fabric and get started!

Have fun!
