Sweet Minky January 27, 2011 – Posted in: Uncategorized
When I think about the word “cozy” it makes me want to get all warm and snuggly. And no fabric fits that bill for me better than minky.
I hate taking my kids out in the winter because of all the layers upon layers they have to wear, and I have to haul around. So I decided to make this sweet matching set to make staying cozy a priority for my snuggly baby, as well as pieces that are warm, comfy, and easy to put on and off.
She loves that she can move her hands without being restrained in a bulky coat. And I love that I can strap her into the car seat, then turn her cape around and she wears it like a blanket that she can’t kick off.
Her hat is fully lined in minky to be super-soft against her head. Her boots are tall enough she can’t get them off by kicking her feet, and they’ve got a non-slip sole to help keep her stable when she starts taking little steps. The cape and boots are lined with a sweet coordinating floral fabric that pulls it all together.
Having something cozy and sweet to put my honey in makes me a little more excited about the frigid winter temperatures!

There is! Look under the tutorial tab and there’s a tutorial on how I created the pattern pieces.
