Fabric, Trim and Lace

Lots of my friends are having babies these days - I'm thirty and that's about the age when people start havin' em. I've been doing a lot of sewing and knitting for babies, and here are some of the materials and results:

Baby patterns

Baby fabrics - quilt cottons

More baby fabrics - natural linen, vine print, flower print and embroidered swiss batiste

baby kimono made from an antique linen pillowcase

dress from a lot of antique baby clothes purchased on Ebay

pattern and fabric for a baby blouse

Dick and Jane fabric and a couple of vintage-y prints from my local fabric shop

a lace shawl from the 1860s, purchased at an antique store on Long Island. Probably too fragile for baby use, but might be pretty framed under glass for a girl's room.
