Designer Baby Clothing: Create Your Own

Use your crafty side to create your own designer baby clothes.

By , About.com Guide

While it might seem that you have zero time to sit and do anything that doesn't involve feeding or changing your new baby, creating your own baby clothing might prove to be a welcome, and soothing, change of pace for you. Imagine closing yourself in a quiet room for a few hours.....

DIY baby clothes is not a hard task to master if you already know how to sew, knit, or crochet. If you don't already have one of these skills, crocheting is typically the easiest of the three to pick up immediately. There are hundreds of free patterns on the Internet for crocheted baby outfits.

Another way to create your own designer baby clothes is to purchase plain onesies and t-shirts at your local mega-retailer. Cut out fabric shapes like butterflies, trees, giraffes, and trucks; use an iron-on transfer to apply. This adds instant pizzazz to any plain shirt.

A DIY designer baby clothes wardrobe is easy to pull together. It just takes a little imagination and creativity. The end result will be a one-of-a-kind baby wardrobe and a major cost savings.
