Easy Baby Shirt


This is an easy pattern and gives you room to make it your own.  The pattern is available at the end of the post.
For this project you will need fabric and 4 feet of  bias tape ( I will show you how to make some)




First the bias tape...


Cut a 2 inch by 4 ft piece of fabric and fold it in towards the middle and iron


 Fold in the other side to meet in the middle and iron
 Now fold in half and iron
You've got yourself some bias tape



Next Cut out your pattern and fabric
 Iron a 1/2 inch on the collar
 Then sandwich your shirt bottom between your bias tape like so
 Sew it to your fabric with a straight stitch to both pieces of the shirt 
 Sew your collar down
 Bias tape the small side of both sleeves
 Then fold inside out and with a 1/2 inseam sew
 You have your sleeves!
 Sew the sides and top together on your shirt
 While your shirt and sleeve are inside out pin together so the sleeve is pointing down
TA DA!!! You have your baby a cute little shirt.....You can add any embellishments you want.  I added this cute fabric flower I made with the left over bias tape.


And now for the pattern after the BREAK
