Have you been over to the Create Hope Designs Store yet? The Create Hope designers have created a selection of lovely pdf sewing patterns that are available for only $5 each. All of the profits made go directly to China Little Flower Orphanage to assist in the wonderful things that they do day in and day out.
My contribution to Create Hope is The Watered with Love Layette Set. This new layette is designed for simple, comfortable dressing in those early newborn days. Included in this pattern are a cotton knit snap-shoulder raglan gown and top in both short and long-sleeves. The long-sleeve version has those great fold-up cuffs that keep baby from scratching himself. (They’re really easy to do! Once you sew one, you just might find yourself adding them to all of your newborn sewing!) The pattern also includes a simple knotted hat. All patterns are sized from newborn through 6-9 months.
The name of this pattern has a really special meaning. I really wanted the name to reflect the selfless way that the caregivers at China Little Flower give to the orphans entrusted to their care. They pour an unbelievable amount of love into those tiny souls. Like beautiful fields of wildflowers are watered with spring showers, these little flowers are watered with their love.
The pattern is fabulous! I just paid for and downloaded my copy, and I’m so happy to help support China Little Flower! I must ask though, any plans on making the shirt in bigger sizes? My little man is already in mostly 12mth clothing and I just love the look of that shirt!
So cute! You have a very adorable model!
I just purchased your watered with love pattern, I will be using it to make daygowns to include in the baby kits that my son is assembling for his eagle project in boy scouts. These kits will be donated to needy mothers around the world.
