sewing baby clothes

I have been a mediocre seamstress at best, trying to sew my lounge clothes and skirts when I was in high school and college. Then, I sort of got busy with Education and Job and never thought twice about sewing unless it was some pillow case, cushion covers, shower curtains or just curtains.

But, since Ana was born, I have taken a renewed liking to sewing. It has been my favorite thing to do for her. As a baby she was outgrowing most of her clothes within a month or so, and it was fun to sew my own rather than buying the generic ones from the store.

Nowadays, many a weekend, I try to think up some simple outfit I can sew for her. The nice thing about baby clothes is, who's going to complain if it doesn't fit just-so? right? So what if the left pant leg is about half-a-centimeter shorter than the right;-)

I stick to simple patterns, and simple projects that can be finished in an hour or two. It is very rewarding to see Ana try on her new clothes I just sewed and sort of prance around happily :-)
