My new pattern is now available for purchase here at my website and also in my Etsy shop.

Baby Abigail is the final version of the coming home outfit I made for my granddaughter, Abigail Ruth.  After many tweaks and trials, it is finally ready.

Baby Abigail is a short bishop top with long sleeves.  It features a contrast placket, as well as contrast details on the wrist, ankle, hem and neck.  The sleeves have an elastic cuff and there is also an option for a smocked sleeve.  If you prefer a folded placket, the pattern includes an option for that also.

The footed pants have an elastic waist for comfort.  There is elastic at the ankles to keep the foot in place since little ones always seem to pop their toes out of the foot piece of their sleepers.  The sole is also lined.  That means there are no exposed seam allowances or threads to cause problems with tiny toes.

It would make a cozy little outfit for the colder weather in a soft Swiss Flannel, such as in the model garment.  I used Liberty Tana Lawn for the contrast trim.  Batiste or broadcloth can also be used for warmer weather.  There are so many ways to make this little outfit: contrast pants, contrast trim only.  I’ll be posting some beautiful versions designed by the testers for inspiration.  They did a marvelous job as always!
