Baby leggings was always what I had the intention of making when I added sewing machine to my wish list, and I found this super easy, super cute tutorial on how to make them on Pinterest and let me tell you, as a rookie, I was stoked to find out just how simple it was to follow and create some awesome leggings. and once I started, I couldn't stop. I also found a tutorial on making baby head wraps, which I decided would be adorable as a matching set with the leggings I made. Then I was thinking to myself, what about the baby boys? They too deserve some adorable looks. So back to Pinterest I headed and found a free patter for a bandanna bib. These are very popular right now. I've seen them on many of the Instagram shops I follow so I can't tell you how excited I was to find a FREE pattern! And of course it was super simple to make, and I'm a beginner so you can trust my word on that. Here are the pictures of what I've made so far. Along with links to where I found my PINspiration.

| That double needle hem. SO clean |
This was the first set I made. This is the tutorial I followed. Everything Golden I love everything about this blog and shop, definitely worth checking out for any craft/art/design lover. I did read many different blogs and tutorials on diy leggings of course, and somewhere along the line I remembered one of them raving about a double needle. Incidentally, my sewing machine came with one and I was ecstatic. I made the hem on these, then I broke my double needle :( It was a rookie mistake and totally my own fault (don't attempt too wide of a stitch with a double needle fyi). Any way I was sad about that but it didn't stop me from continuing on without it. I do plan on buying another one though.
I made the matching head wrap following this tutorial. These came out so so cute I'm so happy I found this tutorial. making the pants and head wrap as a set really complete the vision I had for my handmade homemade future self. Here is the other set I made (without the double needle it still came out adorbz)

And for the boys I made the pants following the previous tutorial and the bandanna bib, which I am now calling the Bibdanna ( I don't know if that term has been previously coined or not, I may have heard it and then later thought it came from my brain place) following this tutorial. Here's what it looks like completed:

| Pants and bibdanna for a baby boy |
All of the fabrics I used were stretch knit, except the front of the Bibdanna which is flannel. I really enjoyed making these and plan on making so much more. I hope people I know start having more babies soon, or I could just have one myself (hoping). I have major baby fever right now so that might just happen (yay!) and I can have a baby fix, and have a baby to make these for :) Thanks for reading. I suggest clicking the links to see the full tutorials and I hope to inspire some more creativity in you.
