Baby Gifts

Babies are happening left & right! It's a good excuse for me to get out the old sewing machine and make something personal for my new little friends. This time, I've been trying my hand at appliqué.

The photo above shows matching one-pieces I made for Lillian & Jessica Buckley, Paul Buckley's new twin girls (Paul was the drummer in Jeff's band, Orbit).

I specifically stayed away from pastels, but I tried to keep it lively and bright. Below is a detail of the appliqué. The font is Helvetica Rounded (it was a challenge finding a font that had consistently good Js and Ls.)

A detail of the little-e:

You can't really see it in the collection shot, but I embroidered his initials at the bottom of the pant-legs; e on the left, f on the right. The font is Verdana, a font commonly used on web pages (a little inside joke for us web-geeks).

And look! They work! Here's Evan styling in his new "little-e" outfit.
