making baby clothes by ROB MERRETT

I have fallen in love, truly I have. Let me introduce you to my new love "Making Baby Clothes" 25 Fun and Practical Projects for 0-3 Year Olds by Rob Merrett. This book is so addictive with those gorgeous and cool patterns for kids that I want to sew each and every project from this book. This book features some great projects like dungarees, hats, skirts, shirts, jackets, dresses to create these stylish and cute baby dresses by yourself.
The book has 6 chapters nicely divided by projects starting for babies 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months, 9-12 months, 2 Years and 6th chapter for 3 Years. There are also very detailed explanation on various techniques that can be used. Each project is very well explained along with clear instructions and pictures.
Pull-out patterns enclosed at the end of the book.
