Tea Party's Little Whale

 Oh my little baby boy, what a joy you are! He has grown so much in 7 weeks. His little whale outfit now fits him wonderfully! I love him in it too.
 I used the Oliver + S Tea Party pattern for this one. I did make mods to it by changing the bodice and short pattern pieces from separate into one pattern piece. I also added cuff to the shorts part and made a button placket to the leg closers. The bonnet is a vintage pattern that I go from mom. The fabric is from the Children at Play line.
 Here is his outfit when I finished it this past spring. I had also made one for friends baby too. It was fast and easy to make.
 I really love the little whale on it. A wonderful summer outfit that I had thought would have fit him sooner.
Sweet pea's baby doll was actually bigger than baby C when he was born. Now he is way bigger and the bonnet fits him now too. Although I am sure Sweet pea will be happy to have it for her baby doll when he out grows it. ;) It makes me wonder how quick will the 6-12m clothes will fit him.

    1. He looks a little like each one of the kids at this age. His looks change a little bit each day.
