Custom leggings for Sanvi

As the new year begins .. I promise myself yet again to keep up my creative spirits. 

Whenever it comes to my baby's clothes I just get too choosy. Its not that there are not enough good looking and lovable pieces in the stores, I am just a confused creature. When there are too many pieces, I just get all confused. So sometimes I just create my own stuff. 

Here is a pair of leggings for Sanvi. I bought a pair of white ones and did a quick pattern print with a potato.

The first step is get a plain bottom for your baby and plan out your design.

Step 2 is put an under layer of newspaper so that the print do not blot to the other side.

Step 3 is to cut out a simple pattern in a paper and use a piece of potato to pint your desired colours.

repeat the same for the other leg as well and its done. Then just go crazy with dressing up your little one.

Isn't she dazzling? Well she seems to love them.

About this blog

        I wanted to maintain this blog even before Sanvi was born. I had many plans .. but trust me .. maternity leave is not a holiday and don't even think of planning anything else other than your baby and taking care of yourself because its very hectic. And when you get some free time while the baby is sleeping .. its Ok to take a nap, read a book or just relax. 
        I know many mothers knit and sew and plan various things for the baby and every mom wants to do the best for the child and make things more and more special and memorable. But for some of us things do not really turn up the way we plan. Some of us are not able to manage the time and some of us just get lazy. Feeling guilty and believing that you can not make up for the time that has past is the worst thing you can do. 
        So I have finally decided to document everything that I have noted and doodled in my notebook during Sanvi's first year and atleast try to continue doing so.
