The Infant Crossover Bubble is now available in my Etsy Shop and at my website. This is a larger version of my Preemie Crossover Bubble, sized for older babies and it comes in sizes Newborn to 12 Months. It features Kimono Sleeves, so there are no tiny armholes to stitch around. It also opens flat for easy diaper changes. There is an asymmetrical collar that can be embellished in a number of ways. Make it fancy with some heirloom lace and hand embroidery, or make it more casual with some piping. You can also leave the collar off and add some machine embroidery. It is fully lined and needs minimal hand stitching. You can really let your imagination go and be as creative as you can be.
I’ve wanted to offer a larger version of the preemie bubble for a while now, and it’s finally available.
You can find it here at the websited under Patterns. You can also find it, along with fabric and trims, in my Etsy Shop.
The photo above features a more casual version, with some hand embroidery. I copied the motif on the fabric using my camera and Illustrator to make an embroidery transfer. The little duck is finished in a simple chain stitch. A tutorial for that will be available in the near future.
Below, I used machine embroidery on Swiss Flannel. The design is from Mommy’s Apron Strings and it’s available from her Etsy shop here. She features vintage style designs and they match this vintage style bubble perfectly. Her designs stitch out beautifully.
The bubble below has some heirloom lace and Swiss Embroideries. I used the new 100% Organice Cotton Linen Batiste with some Lavender Pique. The fabrics are available in my Etsy shop. The Swiss Embroidery trim and lace was from my stash, but I carry other laces that would work as well.
I’ve used snaps on all my version, however, the pattern testers made some wonderful versions with buttons! I’ll be featuring their creations so stay tuned. Subscribe for updates and sign up for my newsletter to get all the latest news.
