Welcome Baby Chloe!


Recently very good friends of ours welcomed their first child into the world, a beautiful baby girl named Chloe. Being a boy momma, I had an absolute blast making all sorts of girly, frilly and fun things for them as baby gifts. I had just gotten some new fabrics, including this really fresh set of green and bright pink flowers.

I knew this would be perfect, these are the colors of her nursery and they actually named her Chloe because it means "bloom"! After the usual bibs, burp cloths and blanket I decided to try something new and created a infant portrait tutu with matching baby bloomers. This is different from a regular tutu (which I LOVE making!) as it's open and designed to slip onto a sleeping newborn. Making that first portrait even easier.

Matching Baby Bloomers!

To capture these special new moments, our friends hired another friend of ours Tina at LiveLovePhotography (any cool pics on the site, Tina took!). She is absolutely amazing and we are so excited to know her. I am proud to say many of my items made into Chloe's pics, you can see their slide show here. Grab the Kleenix and marvel at the beautiful work and gorgeous baby!
