Every baby needs to be wrapped in love and prayers, especially when that baby is born too soon. I had the privilege of making a gown for a tiny boy, born long before he was due. We often stitch Wee Care gowns with no particular baby in mind. That in and of itself is a gift and as I said, a privilege. Like every Wee Care gown for me, every stitch is a prayer. That gift is even greater when you have a a certain baby in mind. As I finished this little gown, I offered many, many prayers for both he and his sweet mommy. I used Swiss flannel, which is a yummy fabric. So soft. Ginger Snaps Designs The pattern I used was Book IV of Ginger Snaps Daygown series. I used the view that has four tucks on the front. I wish I knew where I had purchased the “pointy” lace I used. Very manly for a tiny gentleman. Down the center are three of my favorites, sequin buttons. For the sleeve hems, I used a shell stitch again. It gives it a special touch without using lace. Good news, I hear this tiny little man is doing really well. Growing just like he should. Prayers answered. Don’t ever pass up the opportunity to stitch a Wee Care gown, whether it is for someone you know or a baby and his family you may never meet. You will be blessed as will they.
