Been busily making trousers for my daughter's baby. Took my serger (overlocker), and plenty of interlock cotton jersey along when we stayed with her for a few days. In the end I'd made seven pairs of trousers, four bibs and two of the long sleeved Onesies.
I must admit to having done some alterations to the patterns since my granddaughter is a sturdy baby who wears cotton nappies. I adjusted the trousers pattern by making the legs around an inch longer and adding a couple of inches to the crotch to waist, shaping the back so that it was higher than the front. The original pattern had the back and front exactly the same. The bibs were my own design based on a bib which my daughter really liked. They look like miniature bandanas, double sided with a velcro fastening. The Onsies needed lengthening in the body to fit, but this was an easy alteration. The first one I made was far too small so is now being used by the baby of a close friend.
The pattern used is "Maxaloones" from Max and Meena. The pattern is available through Craftsy. (Craftsy.com)
