is it worth it to sew baby items?
Even though fabric isn’t cheap to buy and babies stain everything, I love to sew baby items. You need so many little things when you have a tiny baby.
You can save money by using free sewing patterns for babies and by using up scraps of fabric and smaller pieces of fabric. Sewing for babies is great because it requires less fabric!
Why I love to use free patterns for babies
- they are free!
- you can print these PDF patterns at home
- they are easy and simple to sew.
- many are unisex and work for boys and girls
What fabric is best to use for babies?
I love using cotton because it’s easy to find, there are so many pretty prints, it washes up well, and it breathes best. It’s such a great fabric for little ones!
