Clara Baby is an irresistible set! Clara includes a swing top with a ruffled baby doll bodice. The bodice ruffles extend from the bodice front to the back. The arched bodice creates a slight natural hi-lo hemline. Button placket back closure completes this top.

Two bottoms are included:

1. Ruffle Bloomers with a delicate waist and leg ruffle.

2. Knit Shorties: Our knit shorties have a legging style fit with optional leg ruffles.  We will teach you a fun method to create the elastic waistband that guarantees no turning or flipping elastic and a professional finish every time!

Adorably Sweet

I used this pattern for an Easter dress for my 8 month old great granddaughter. It turned out better than I expected! It's absolutely gorgeous! It was a pretty easy sew. The directions were very clear. Love all my VFT patterns!

Makes for a cute outfit

I made the top and shorts, they are very cute when complete. I found that making the ruffles for the shorts were too tedious for my short attention span and we’re adding too much weight and bulk for the 3 month size, so I tossed the ruffles out and just made the shorts plain….still cute though! The only issue I had with this outfit is that the top is a bit wide for my grand baby, as she is rather quite petite and lacking in the chubby department.

Bloomers

I bought this pattern purely for the bloomers and they were completely worth it! They turned out so adorable and fit really well. I will be making lots more of these! I can’t wait to try the dress pattern, too!!

Easy to follow, clear instructions.

Good instructions, I don't think I had problems following along making the top. It turned out perfect for group photos for mothers day. It was nice this pattern had variations. I see some that are the same price but only have pattern Piecea for one specific thing. This is more bang for your buck. L keep an eye out for other patterns from here.

Another perfect pattern!

I love VFT patterns. This is my first time making a baby size, and I’m so happy with how it turned out! I love the options for the ruffles of the rolled hem. Will definitely be buying more patterns!

I LOVE your patterns!!

This was my first dress to sew. I had a few issues as I am a beginner sewer, but was extremely proud of myself when I finished. I have made a second dress, correcting my mistakes and have a third dress part way done. I love this pattern!!

Great baby dress

I made this in the 3-6mo size out of cotton batiste. It came out lovely. I was glad I put the buttonholes in before I put the ruffles over the shoulders as I think that made it easier for the buttonhole foot to do it's thing.
