Fabric of the Day - Woven Cotton Quilting Fabric Prints

Today I thought I'd share something different.

I usually post my knit fabric finds, but today I'd like to share a few 100% Cotton Prints.

Little Pilots has Little Teddy Bear Pilots, Airplanes, Helicopters and Clouds in shades of blue with brown and red, on a slightly off-white background. This really cute, light weight woven fabric is sold by the Yard and Fat Quarter, but is available in any length by special order.  

Bright Plaids in Yellow and Pink.

These really cute Plaids are a nice weight woven fabric with a smooth finish and are sold by the Yard and Fat Quarter, or any length by special order.

Cotton Knit Fabric Baby Booties Sewing Patterns

There is just something about making a pair of baby booties that excites the soul.

Baby Bootie Pattern 1

 It might be the excitement that there will be a new baby that carries over to thinking about baby booties, that baby booties are just so cute or a mixture of both.

Baby Bootie Pattern 2

Next comes picking out a pattern. You will want something cute, but also functional.

By functional, I mean, will they be comfortable and stay on the baby's feet without binding or marking the baby's ankle because they are too tight.

Baby Bootie Pattern 3

You will also need to check sizes. Pattern sizes are different between designers. So check the measurements. Also baby's foot sizes vary.

Baby Bootie Pattern 4

I have several baby bootie patterns, for sale. The links to the patterns are in the left-hand column of this blog, as are quick links to the pattern tutorials. The first 5 patterns include 5 sizes. They are sized for small preemies and newborn babies up to 12 months or until the baby's foot length reaches 4 inches. Some babies feet reach this length by the time they are 6 or 9 months.

Baby Bootie Pattern 5

Airplane Bootie - Includes 7 sizes,

Preemie up to a foot 6 1/2 inches long.

 I also have links to a couple baby bootie patterns that are FREE. They are listed under "Free, Baby Related & Charity Patterns". 

The big question now is... Where can I find the knit fabric to make these baby booties with? 

Well... I carry that too. 

I am on a constant search to find "Hard to find" Cotton Knit Fabric in Interlock, Jersey, Rib Knit and Ribbing.

You will find it HERE, along with Ribbon, Elastic and Cording.

If you use my patterns to make baby booties and you would like to share pictures of them... You may post them on Lil' Baby Thangs Flickr photo stream or on Lil' Baby Thangs Facebook page.

Todays Fabric of the Day

I love to make people happy.

♥

I know how hard it has been to find cotton knit fabric anywhere.

So, I searched and searched, for many years mind you, but I did manage to find some really cute baby and children's prints in Interlock, Rib and Jersey knits. I have been posting them in my Etsy Shop where you can find them too.

♥

Now I have been made aware of another problem.

♥

It is getting hard to find Ribbing too!

What is this world coming to?

♥

It is a good thing I have been buying it when I find it.

Today I added these Luscious Flavors of Ribbing to my Etsy Shop, in the Rib Knit Section

♥

They are 95% Cotton and 5% Lycra, so they retain their shape.

I have 2 kinds. The 9 on the left are 2x2 rib knit and the 4 on the right are a 1x1 rib knit.

The 1x1 is lighter weight and has a smoother surface.

♥

2 of my patterns call for ribbing, Baby Bootie Patterns 2 and 5.

♥

Till next time, Happy Sewing!

The Fabric of the Day, is Dedicated to Dr. Seuss

Theodor Seuss Geisel was born March 2, 1904. He was most widely known for his children's books, written under his pen name, Dr. Seuss.

♥
Since Elementary Schools across the country are celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday this month, I thought would too.

♥

I have always loved his books, especially his characters. So today, straight out of "The Cat in the Hat" we have "Thing 1 and Thing 2" fabric for you to enjoy.

This fabric is a soft 100% combed cotton interlock knit in a medium weight.

♥

It is perfect for making any of my baby bootie patterns or baby and children's clothing.

♥

This fabric is available by the yard in my Etsy Shop, HERE.
