This came from her book “little stitches for little ones”.  No, no babies on the way for me at the present time, but a ton of my friends are pregnant and/or with little ones at home.  This is meant to be a full body baby wrap, that is then tied to keep them all snuggled and secure.

My very close friend, Karen, gave birth to Laura Catherine on July 4th, and I thought that this would be a super cute gift for her.  I made this in size 3-6 months, knowing Karen would get more use out of it in the winter, rather than now, at the peak of summer.  She and her husband, Matt, were waiting to find out what they were having, so I was on the edge of my seat waiting as well!  Would I get to sew up cute girlie things or cute boyish things??

I apologize for the coloring of this – the lining of this snuggie wrap is a gray/brown fleece, but here it looks like it has a much more yellow hue to it.  I was so happy with how quickly this came together.  It was really a nice, easy project to get done in the weekend that they baby was born.  The only difficulty came with opening the buttonholes.  I accidentally snagged one, and had to use some stabilized and over-sewing to fix it. (Thanks, Diana, for the save!)
