Inspired by an upcoming baby shower, and some wonderful fabrics from Hobby Lobby, I pulled out my favorite baby clothes pattern: the Lullaby Layette from Oliver + S. Check out these fabrics!

Once again, sewing an Oliver + S pattern makes me feel like a sewing superstar just for following the pattern. Those diaper-roomy pants! With the tiniest of pockets!

Pattern

Lullaby Layette by Oliver + S, size 3-6 months

Fabric & Notions

Fabric: Pale Pink Mini Dot Apparel Fabric; Black in the Woods Apparel Fabric; Berry Leaves Apparel Fabric (all Hobby Lobby)
Snaps: Sew-Ology Plastic Snaps, Grey, 7/16 in. (Hobby Lobby)

Note

I can never seem to find white snaps when I want them, and the pinks were all off in hue or tone. But in the end the grey really work for me. 

Love

This is another wonderful trifecta of perfect fabric + pattern + wearer (a baby! come on!). What's not to love?
