May Giveaway Day!

by


It’s May Giveaway Day at Sew Mama Sew! I always have a great time checking out all the amazing blogs, and, of course, giving away something. We’ve welcomed a new baby boy into our family since the last giveaway day. Baby Charlie was born February 12th, and he is such a blessing!

For this giveaway, I thought I’d share in the joy of sewing tiny baby clothes. They really are so much fun to sew, whether you’re sewing for your own little one or sewing for a shower gift. The winner will receive a copy of my Little One Layette pattern and 1/2 yard each of Pink Chickadees and MOM Robots, both on 100% cotton interlock.

In order to enter, just leave a comment on this post. The winner will be chosen at random, but I’d love to hear what you think of my blog or maybe what you enjoy most about newborn babies. I’ll keep the comments section open until Thursday, May 20th at 10 p. m. central time and post the winner the following morning.

  1. Great giveaway! Please count me in! I want to make products for children so I need patterns. I love your blog!

  2. I’m really curious about sewing in knits and there are so many babies in my life at the moment. Great giveaway!

  4. Your baby’s so cute! I love newborn babies — they’re so adorable but grow up way too fast!

  5. I have been following you for quite some time but I guess it is time to “delurk” 🙂
    I love that you talk about your family and children. I love seeing what life is like with children.
    The reason I was originally following you were inspiration for quilts. For some reason I cought the quilting bug but I can’t seem to decide what to do first (I can’t try everything, else I would not eat nor sleep anymore…).
    And now that some of my friends are pregnant I will be turning more to your pattern for kids 🙂

  10. Great giveaway! I’ve always wanted to try making baby clothes.. and now my friends are starting to have babies, it’d be great timing!

  11. Great giveaway! I love all your patterns. So glad you joined this event so I could find you. I’m due with baby #2 in January. What I love most about newborns is when they fall asleep in your arms. My 20 month old stopped doing that around 8 weeks old and i miss it so much!!

  12. Awesome giveaway! I love the patterns and the fabrics! I have an 8 month old and would love to make some clothes for him. Your son is adorable! I’m so in love with being a mom and love getting to watch my son experience new things in this crazy world in which we live! 🙂

  16. What a lovely giveaway! Truth? I don’t much care for infants until they get to the stage where they actually smile back. Then the real fun starts! Your Charlie looks like he’s right about at that stage, such a charming face!

  17. Our newest was born on Oct 30, 2009. While not technically a newborn at 6 months, my favorite thing about this age is the total happiness, surprise and joy in their faces when you show up in the mornings to get them out of their cribs. She is so happy just to see me. That smile makes all things right with the world.

    Thanks for the giveaway. I’d love to try the layette patterns with a little upsizing maybe for this growing girl of mine.

  18. I’m due in November with my 3rd. I stumbled upon your blog while looking for the Snapdragon soaker pattern. And I’ve bookmared it! Your items are amazing, and I would love this pattern!

  19. I just got a text from my friend that her first baby — a son — was just born! I would love to share this with her!

  20. What do I like about Newborn BABIES!!! Well the best thing I really enjoyed, especially with my little boy is when he was about 3 months old our morning routine was the following: Daddy would wake up to go to work and would change the baby’s diaper. He would then go downstairs and make a warm bottle. He would give the baby to me in bed so I could feed him, then we would fall asleep together in bed. Since he wasn’t rolling over yet, I could fall asleep with him next to me and hear him breath and smell his baby smell….Boy i miss those days. When the now 11 month old falls asleep in my bed now, he tosses and turns so he goes back in the crib.

  23. I have been wanting that pattern for SO long! I never think to get it when I actually have money!!
    I love EVERYTHING about new babies. (even the crying) they are so wonderful!!

  24. My first few months with my son were a stressful blur – I was terrified! I look forward to having another child so I can enjoy him/her more every step of the way!

  25. Awww…congrats on the baby, he’s a cutiepie! My little guy is 51 weeks older, exactly. What I love most about newborns is that sweet, trusting vulnerability–they are so utterly dependent on us for everything. And they make me want more and more babies!

  26. This is perfect for me! I’m 5 mos pregnant this week and am starting to get sewing on some baby things! YAY! Hope I win!

  27. those are great knits! I haven’t bought knit fabric for a while, I could make a cute top for my girl from the birdie one!

  28. For a minute I thought Charlie was the giveaway!!!! He’s so cute – my babies are all grown up now but I always loved the smell of them when they were tiny – definitely not now the boys are huge hairy rugby players!!!

    gill

  30. Thanks for the giveaway. I love how tiny newborns are, and how they fold themselves into such a tiny little ball when they cuddle!

  31. I love that newborns sleep soo sweetly on your chest! my 8 month old doesn’t do that anymore…

  32. My favorite thing about newborn babies is how they smell. My almost 5 month old still smells like a baby, but he’s losing that smell and it makes me sad!

  34. Great site!…I have a 4 month old she is my first and just love watching her discover new things!

    Thanks!

  35. I have my first baby on the way now, and I can’t wait to give him a bunch of handmade baby things to welcome him into the world!

  37. Your little guy is so cute! I love little baby fingers and toes. And golly . . . those bellies. Really everything. Especially their super soft hair. 🙂 I had a little guy in August and I can’t believe how fast the year has whipped by already!

    skooksplayground[at]gmail[dot]com

  38. I love your tutorials on the site. I’ve sewn the bloomers a few times. So sweet.

    Thank-you for this give a way!

  41. My baby boy is 5 months old: I love seeing the world through his eyes. Everything is a discovery and an adventure!

  43. I love that you sew kints a lot. And you find awesome fabrics…I spent a good hour and a half online trying to find the elephant print knit you used for your son’s outfit. Would love to win, I just had my first baby boy in April after having 2 girls.

  46. Charlie is handsome! I LOVE sewing baby clothes. I peruse Etsy and google for baby clothing tutorials and patterns. It’s my new addiction. EVERYTHING looks cute on a baby! My favorite part of newborns are their smell. Is that weird? They are just so cute, cuddly, soft and smell SOOOO good!

  48. Oh my Charlie is squishable or what?! How do you get anything done with such gorgeous cheeks to kiss? 🙂

    Mmmm newborns. Aside from the fact that they can’t run around, destroy things and shout “MAMA! Dunna POOOOOO!” at 6am in the morning? (Can you tell those golden days are gone in our house and we are firmly in the era of the toddler…?)

    Ooh just the smooshiness of them. The falling asleep on your chest and that smell… The little whimpers and mews and snuffles they make. Oh man, now I’m broody.

    Great giveaway and a lovely blog, glad to have found you.

  49. what a great giveaway Bonnie!
    i love to smell a newborns head and nibble at their little toes <3
    savateemATyahoo

  50. Hi, this is such a great giveaway. Thanks for giving me a chance to participate! I am sure my little niece would love a new outfit 😉 Julia

  52. My last little one has still just a little bit of time wearing such adorable onsies that I hope I get a chance to win!

  53. I thoroughly enjoy your blog! I have had grand intentions of copying your diaper bag modifications for some time…but now maybe that can take a backseat to using the layette pattern? 🙂 Oh and I love the soft little milk-breath smell of newborn babies….mmm.

  54. Both of the fabrics are fabulous, thanks so much for the chance to win! I love babies and I look forward to having children myself in the next few years. I actually just saw a movie called The Babies, documenting the first years of 4 new born babies from around the world – San Francisco, Tokyo Japan, Mongolia, and Namibia. It’s a great movie!

  55. Oh I would love to win this! All of my friends are having babies so this would be perfect!

  56. What a great pattern & fabric! My best friend just had her first, a daughter, last night! I’d love to win and make a layette for her. Thanks for the chance to win!

  58. I already have the pattern but I love the fabric so I wanted to enter anyway 🙂

    My favorite thing about newborn babies is how soft their little heads are. I can sit and rub my cheek against my little boy’s head for hours. Which might be why his hair is starting to fall out, lol!

  60. congratulations. baby charlie is adorable! i love babies…with my first i was too nervous to enjoy the newborn stuff…the long hours of sleep (albeit during the day!) and soft skin, the little wimper cry and as a nursing mama, i will forever miss that connection with my babies who are both beyond that stage…thanks for a chance at this pattern and fabrics!

  61. oh i like newbon babies- so sweet, but grows up too fast.

    hope i will win these nice fabrics.

    greets, susi(from germany)

  62. I love newborn hair – so soft. And all their little noises and expressions. 🙂 Baby Charlie is adorable! Thanks for the chance to win!

  63. Awesome giveaway! I lurk on your blog and really enjoy reading about patterns you’ve tried.

  64. i can tell you for sure that my favorite thing about new little babies is how soft and cuddly and squishy they are. they are just too cute!!! this is a great giveaway. thanks for the chance.
    lezlie21(at)aol(dot)com

  66. I love how light and airy newborns are! Those first few weeks it feels like you are carrying around nothing at all (after carrying what felt like a ton of bricks in your belly for the last few months!). When it comes to my children in particular I love all the hair they are born with! They look like such little men.

  69. I’m in Texas too. We welcomed baby boy #2 on Jan. 7. Your little guy is adorable! Would love to win these items. My favorite thing about my newborn is watching all of his firsts. He seems to be growing much faster than older (19 month) brother grew! His smiles just melt my heart!! 🙂

  70. Bonnie, I love all your patterns! Your Emmy pattern is one of my main “go to” for the girls!

  72. Wonderful fabric. I have never sewn for little ones (not enough time when my own children were little) and like your shower gift suggestion.

  73. Your LittleGuy is Sooo cute!
    I think the best thing about newborns is when they fall asleep in your arms. What peace.

    Would love to win! Thanks for the opportunity!

  74. What a handsome little guy you have! I adore sewing clothes for babies/toddlers…its what I do best! :o)

    crissybell17(at)gmail(dot)com

  75. I am expecting baby #2 in Sept, I think what I like best is watching them go through each stage-figuring out they have toes, when they laugh for the 1st time.

  77. I am just learning how to sew knits. Not doing too well either 🙂

  78. Those fabrics are SO cute! I’ve never sewn anything like this before so it would be a fun new project to try.

    My favorite thing about newborns is when they curl up and sleep on your chest.

  79. I’m pregnant with my first baby – so I don’t have a favorite thing about newborns yet! Can’t wait to meet mine!

  81. This is awesome. I have been looking for patterns for babys (my nephew specifically) and would love to win this! Thanks for the chance.

  82. The best part about newborns is when they fall fast asleep in your arms . . . I just love it!

  83. I love that baby photo! Cute! I like the tutorials you have lined up, it shows you like to give back to the blogging community.

  84. Oh, I would love to enter! I’m currently pregnant, due in July. 🙂

    I love holding newborns and looking into their eyes. They seem so solemn and knowing, and trusting as they gaze around.

  85. What a cutie you have on your hands, love the name too!! My last son I really wanted to name him Charlie….anyway thanks for the chance!!

  86. Aww, I’m in the middle of creating a fishing hat pattern for my little boy and those robots would be perfect! 🙂 Congratulations on your newest arrival!

  87. Love the fabrics! So adorable. I’m sure I’d have some babies to make those for in my moms club. Thanks! Your blog is super cute.

  88. Hi – I love your blog and thank you for the give away!
    Babies are such a blessing to all of us- I love watching their reactions to new stuff around them.
    Colleen

  91. The things I love most about newborns are how small and sweet they are. They just love to snuggle and be held, but they aren’t super wiggly!

    Plus, they are a blessing and a reminder of the pregnancy and labor and birth.. and how special they truly are!

    PS those fabrics are awesome! And I don’t have much experience with sewing bitty clothes, but I would love to!

  93. I am so looking forward to checking out your blog some more, all your tutorials look fantastic.

    I currently have a newborn so my favorite thing right now is all the snuggles and brand new smiles 🙂

  94. My children are not babies anymore but I’ve just learned that a new niece or nephew is on the way and I can’t wait to hold him or her in my arms. Thanks for the great giveaway!
    ap_lemos at yahoo dot com

  96. Love love love the robots, although my daughter would prefer the pink! Fortunately, with the newest one around at only a month old, I can dress him in whatever I want and not have him yell at me like big 3 year old sister when I attempt to dress her in something *gasp* not pink. 🙂

    I love your blog because I’m a mom of three and trying to sort out sewing and crafts, and I love the ideas you have, and the inspiration, which convinces me I can sort it all out one day. 😀

  97. oh my, this would be perfect!! we just welcomed a beautiful baby boy 10 days ago! he is wonderful… every single thing about him 🙂 thank you for the lovely giveaway! i am off to look at your other patterns…

    xo,
    erika

  98. This is such a timely giveaway as I am expecting my second child at the end of July!

  99. Thanks for the giveaway. I have had an influx of new babies in the family in the past few months with even more to come in the next few months. I love all your little clothes for the little body. Cute, Cute.

  100. What a cute little boy! I am currently pregnant with baby number 4, but have never attempted to make my own clothes for the previous babies. I am looking for to a snuggly little bundle in my new born. I love how they seem to curl up right into you when they sleep on your chest! Thanks for the great giveaway.

  101. Love seeing your quilt blocks. Thanks for the chance to win.

    ktyoung1(at)gmail(dot)com

  102. I met my friend’s 2 week old daughter today. I swore I’d never forget the smell of my newborn daughters’ hair, the tininess of their pinky fingers, and the sweetness of their sighs…. today I remembered those things! Thanks for the chance to enter!

  104. I’m so excited because I love your patterns!!
    Love your blog too, not sure how you get everything done!

  105. I have been a reader of your blog for awhile now and love your patterns. It seems like a lot of little ones are being born right now or real soon so this would be perfect.

  109. i too love sewing for babies and children. i got back into sewing after my 2 year old was born. i’d love to have that pattern and the fabrics are great!
    phillandlesley(at)msn(dot)com

  111. What a lovely blog. I will enjoy looking through it for some ideas as we have another little one due to be born in September. Your little Charlie and I share the same birthday too.

  112. Those are adorable fabrics. I’ve been wondering what to make as a baby present for my best friend’s little one on the way.

  113. I wish I would’ve found this pattern when my son was younger. I loved making him clothes but finding stuff for boys is always tough. Luckily I have so many friends having babies and still need to make gifts. Love the fabrics too. Please count me in! Fingers crossed 🙂

  114. absolutely adorable fabrics!! good luck with your ministry–and keeping in touch with family. my son/wife/little boy are across the country from us and we super appreciate their blog!! have a great day

  116. I have a newborn! He was born on April 7th and he is just amazing. He’s almost 6 weeks and weighs 15 lbs now!!! (he was 10lbs, 9oz at birth so he’s a big guy). Congrats on your new baby too. I just love babies (hopefully we’ll get to 6 kids or more….we’ve got 3 so far) Thanks for the giveaway.

  117. Yor kid is soo cute! nice blog, thanks for the opportunity to win! I love the fabrics but also love to mix it up a bit – I would give the robots to a girl and the chickens to a boy!

  118. Oh, we’re hoping to have another baby soon 🙂
    What a great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂

  120. I would love this pattern! I have so many babies being born around me and am going to be TTC in the near future so this would really come in handy!

  121. THanks for a fun giveaway! My favorite thing about babies right now is that I am blessed with two small children and am expecting #3 in early January 🙂

  124. What an adorable baby!! The pattern looks great and the fabric is adorable. My cousin is having a baby girl in September and I would love to make this for her :o). My favorite thing about babies is their cheeks…i love to kiss them (the cheeks on their face, not their bums…wink, wink).

  128. I love your tutorials. Thank you. I’m going to bookmark the bloomers so I remember to make these.
    rsgrandinetti@yahoo(DOT)com

  129. Oh I love these! We have a little one on the way and I need to get busy sewing.

  133. eek I love that fabric! I was just thinking the other day I wish there was better prints in knits.

    thanks for sharing

  134. My favorite thing about newborns is that little fold in their necks. mmmm….baby necks.

  135. I like reading your blog, and especially the patterns for boys. I am going to get your undies pattern for when my little boy is ready for toilet training. Thanks for the giveaway! amo (at) zoic [dot] org

  137. I love newborn babies! I miss having one in my life 🙂 I would absolutely melt when they were sleeping and made suckling noises and faces 🙂

  138. Oh my! Mom to 6! I am blessed with two, but 6 is wonderful! My favorite things about babies: watching them sleep, cuddling, their soft breath, their pudgy feet (I had 9 & 10 pound babies!)…oh the list could go on and on! Congratulations on Baby Charlie! (I love his name!)

  139. I love your blog header – it’s so cute! My favorite thing about newborn babies . . . is when they’re someone else’s newborn baby! 🙂 When I had my daughter I learned that I don’t handle sleep deprivation well. I’m a huge fan of older babies and toddlers though!

  140. New borns are so tiny and new – which is what makes them so special. But I also like that they are so full of possibilities and that they will grow up into feisty toddlers (before you know it)!

  141. Hi Bonnie!

    Cute pic of Charlie 🙂 I hope to be the lucky winner of one of your fabulous patterns!

    Loree

  142. Bonnie! Great giveaway! I’ve been coveting this pattern for like a year now, but am trying to be budget conscious were patterns are concerned… Every time I see something made up from it, though, I get all green!
    Newborns – I love the scrunched up little face, oversized hands and feet, grunts and squeaks, stinky neck… breastfeeding, wearing, cuddling, smelling! Cannot believe my guy’ll be 1 year in a month!

  143. All of my friends are prego! I’m going poor making quilts and I think learning how to do jumpers may be my saving grace.

  144. I like the cute check print in the background of your blog!

    My littlest guy has now started walking and I love to make him pajama pants and watch him walk around in them… ahhh, so sweet.

    fruitandfoliage@gmail.com

  146. I only started sewing to make clothes for my baby girl! I love watching them figure things out – like how to move each finger individually.

  147. What a gorgeous baby you have! I love the trust newborns have for their caregivers.

    jackiecollyer at hotmail dot com

  148. I really enjoy your blog. I’ve been reading it for about half a year (I found it when it was pyjama month at SMS.) I love that you sew with knits and make proffesional looking garments. I would LOVE to win this pattern and try it out.

  150. Bonnie your patterns are amazing! And I would love to win any of them. My favorite things about newborns are all the snuggling while nursing. It’s the best!

  151. What adorable fabrics, and a great pattern! My favorite thing about babies is how peaceful and sweet they are when they’re content and happy. I really really love babies 🙂 Thanks for sharing 🙂

  152. Great giveaway! Favorite thing about newborns…their tiny size and those little button noses and rosebud mouths. But there is so much to love about newborns!

  153. I love reading your blog because I find such inspiration from your lifestyle of striving to be more like Christ as a mother and artist. I love the occasional prayer requests that you throw out there… (btw, what happened to your friend who had that very rare labor complication? I sent that request out to all my prayer warrior friends and have wondered about her and prayed for her every time I thought about her.)

  154. what a cute little guy! i have a little 5 month old who is growing like a weed!!! my favorite part of having a newborn was always letting her sleep in my arms. now she only sleeps in her crib

  156. those fabrics and the pattern are totally beautiful and i would love to whip up some teeeny clothes!

    i will never ever forget the sweetness of my newborn baby’s cheek against my shoulder, her lips lax, she gently sighed with each exhale, content and perfect. what a gift.

    thank you for the chance to win.

  157. Oh, wait, you’re not giving away the baby? I’m so disappointed…Of course, the next best thing would be having one of my own and sewing for that babe! 😉 Congratulations, he’s too cute!

  158. Super giveaway! I love how sweet newborns smell and how tiny their toes and fingers are.

  161. What an awesome pattern. I have a niece coming in August and as a first time aunt am dreaming up ways to spoil her and this would be perfect! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
    rayamashita(at)yahoo(dot)com

  163. I have bookmarked your blog, couldn’t find how to follow you, but I would like to!
    I am hoping to get into more sewing, I have a 23mth old and hoping to add to our family so would love to sew babies clothes

  165. my little girl is a month younger than your wee man.. it’s such a special time, isn’t it? i lacked the inspiration to sew for my boys but, with the arrival of a girl, i feel totally inspired!

  166. Beatiful fabric and great pattern!

    I’m three months pregnant of my first baby and i’ve recently discovered how funny is sewing your own stuff! I’m just looking forward to have it on my hands and making things for him or she!

    Greetings from Barcelona!

  168. I love sewing baby clothes, but as some others have mentioned, haven’t really worked with knits. I’d love to try out the patterns and LOVE the fabric.

  169. your blog was the blog i most loved from the first sewmamasew giveaway
    since then i follow you
    i love every thing you make
    i love your patterns
    i also have a baby boy at home and would love to try your patterns out
    thanks!

  170. I confess to being a head toucher. And a head sniffer. Baby scent, yum! And (like you I’m sure!) sewing diapers and little garments, and knitting, mostly from “found” fabric. DD is expecting her third little boy in a few months, and as usual I can hardly wait.
    (GB from DSD)

  171. I like all your ideas for making stuff — been a subscriber for a while. And what a good idea this is! So many pregnant friends…

  174. The best thing about new babies – the smell!
    Thanks for the chance. kdmsclutter(at)aol(dot)com

  175. Can I cheat and talk about a yet to be born baby? I’m expecting my first and right now I am loving the unfamiliar sensation of kicks, of growing a life inside me. The thing is I’m sure life will be even more amazing and full of favourite things when they arrive!

  176. Crazy-cute giveaway! Thank you for putting together this creatively awesome prize! I love the smell of newborns and the way they love to sleep under your chin for hours!
    Pick me Mr. Random number generator!! Ooohhh, Pick me!!
    ??

  178. Great giveaway – I am new to your blog and really like what I have seen so far. I am adding it to my Google reader. I love babies because they are so cuddly and smell good most of the time ;). My babies are 5 and 9 now with no others on the horizon, but I have a niece due soon and can’t wait to hold her. I also need a shower gift for SIL so this giveaway would be great to win!

    Thanks for offering!

  179. I’ve never sewn baby clothes, knitting and crochet were my thing until the last year when quilting took over but do want to start on clothes so this would be a great learning tool.

  181. How lovely! I love the smell of new abies the best!!

    Thanks for the chance to enter. xo

  182. Lovely fabrics. I love how newborns are all arms and legs when they are awake. I love watching them see their hands go by and look quizically at them.

  187. Lovely blog and a great giveaway. I love babies, especially their tiny feet and hands and wrinkly super soft skin… adooooorable.

  188. I’d love to start sewing baby clothes, I think my maternal drive is coming through 🙂 For now, I’d have to be sewing for my friend’s babies, though 🙂

    I like the look of your blog, so I’ll come back to check it out in a relaxed mode, but so far, what I like about your blog is the picture of your baby – those are AMAZING eyes!

    I love the smell of newborns, especially around their neck/head – that should be bottled 😉

    http://cuttingedgequilt.blogspot.com/

  189. Congrats on the little one! I love the tiny features, hands and feet. Friends of ours have a baby girl who was premature and is just now 5+pounds and tiny and adorable!

  190. These prints are so cute. My niece is expecting and I want to make some baby items so this would be perfect! Thank you for the giveaway. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com

  191. What is not to love about newborns??? The little noises, the tiny toes… sigh. Thanks for the great giveaway!!!

  193. is there anything better than the way a baby’s head smells? or how small their fingernails are? or how soft and pattable their little buns are? I guess that’s three things 🙂

  194. Thanks for the chance to win! I also had a baby boy in Feb (Feb 3rd). Congrats!

  195. Look at Charlie, the professional model! So cute. We have a two year old boy, so we would go nutz over the robot fabric! We will definately be back (after all the giveaway brewhaha is over!) Thank you for your generous giveaway!

  201. I have lots of friends having babies, and I would love to have this pattern.

    Thanks for the giveaway.

  203. For a second there I thought you were giving away a baby!
    The best part about babies is when they first learn to recognize you on sight. There is nothing sweeter than seeing them light up.

  204. Oh fun! Those fabrics are so cute! I have a baby girl and there’s nothing better than rocking and snuggling a baby:)
    And they smell so good! Thanks for the great giveaway!

  205. Great giveaway and very nice site. I like all your quilts and may have to try making some of those diapers.

  206. Fun prize! I follow your blog and love your zippered pouch tutorial – used it many time :). Thanks for the great giveaway! luscofamily(at)ortelco.net

  208. I had 7 children and now its time for another grandchild – I just purchased your layette pattern and am busy sewing. The fabric would be great. Babies just starting to smile are my favorites.

  209. Ooh, I love your site! My favorite thing about newborns is how they sleep in your arms. I miss that so much . . .

  211. I love holding a baby while they sleep. They just nuzzle in and feel so cozy. 🙂 Nice fabric!

  212. I love everything! the pattern, the fabric, your blog 🙂
    Great giveaway!

  213. Really cute pattern and fabric! I’m expecting my third child in October. Very exciting. Thanks for the giveaway!

  214. Oh goodness… he is too precious, congratulations. I love teeny tiny fingers and toes!

  215. I love love love those robots! Where do you get fun interlock like that? Even though I live in a large-ish city, I have a hard time finding fun interlock.

  217. Thanks for the giveaway offer. Charlie is so sweet and somehow the name suits him.

  218. I love this pattern – and that fabric – oh my!
    Your little man is so cute! That diaper bag you made, love that. I am loving this blog. So excited I’ve discovered it and can’t wait to dig deeper into it and discover all the amazing things you’ve created…what inspiration!

  220. What a cute baby! Everyone I know seems to be having a baby recently, from my boyfriends sister to my friends and my cousin!

  221. I love holding newborns! Well, mine at least, I don’t feel the same draw to other people’s babies at all. Love your blog!

  222. I became a grandma for the first time just before Christmas and love being able to sew for babies. Love the fabrics!

  223. I love that the little ones will sleep on your chest while you lie on the couch and just look and them and smell their sweet heads!
    thanks for the chance to win!

  224. I’m not one for babies (I can make ANY baby cry by holding it), but one of my best buds just told me today her baby, due in the fall, is a little boy. Papa works for NASA, and the baby’s room will be rocket ships and other such boy/futuristic gadgets, so the robot fabric would be perfect!

  225. Newborns. I am a postpartum nurse. I hold thost tiny innocent little souls all day. I can’t get enough of them!! I love how squirmy and stretchy they are once out of the womb but I love how after a big squirm and a stretch the curl back up into a tiny ball.

    Thanks for a chance to win your great giveaway!

  230. the baby cloth pattern looks cute 😀 congratulations on your new bb he’s so adorable 😀 and thanks for hosting the giveaway!

  231. This is great! I don’t have any babies of my own yet, but I work as a nanny for 3 great little kids. Two are almost two, and one is only 7 months old! I love baby noises most. There is nothing sweeter than the little grunts and sighs a new baby makes.

  232. I hae a little one myself and a bunch of friends with little ones on the way. This would be a great project!

  236. Thanks for the giveaway. My daughter was born January 29th, and I am just starting to make clothes for her. So excited!

  238. what a great blog you have! the thing i loved most about having my very own newborn is how they feel like a warm loaf of bread when you hold them close to your chest all snuggly. I call this the “hunka hunka lova baby loaf” 🙂

  240. I love to snuggle newborn babies!! I only have one little guy, and he doesn’t like to snuggle much anymore:( I miss it!!

  248. Love the MOM robots! My favorite thing about a newborn is when you hold them up and they just stay all curled up.

  249. Love the robots! Love the baby! My favorite thing about newborns is holding them on your chest with their little head right below your chin. Sigh. I wish I could still do that with my boys!

  251. My favorite thing about newborns is how captivating they are, so that a room full of adults just sits around quietly watching. And how they just melt into when you hold them. And when they open their eyes and look into your face.

  253. hello!

    congratulations on your newborn!!!
    you had a great idea about this giveaway. baby clothes patterns are always useful!

    please count me in!!!

    regards from Portugal

  254. I can’t tell you what I like about newborns – I am pregnant with my first child and I am already probably the most happiest person alive (In this town. Maybe in this house. 8D) So I guess, when baby is there, I will love every little bit of its awesomeness. =)

  256. what i love most about them is when they grow up and start to have their own will that is totally freee 🙂

  264. I don’t have any children, but I am always AMAZED at newborns and just the fact that they start out from two little cells, meeting up, and become these sentient little humans. It really is awesome when you think about it!

  287. I love everything about little babies, how they view their surroundings in such awe, how they smell like sleep, how their cheeks are so soft. I have 3 children and if god was willing would have more.
