Lullaby Layette Set Sewing Pattern

Every baby needs a cute, comfortable layette set. These pieces work together to create a darling wardrobe for little ones up to 24 months. The bodysuit and shirt can be made with short or long sleeves and include a snap placket and pleats at the front and back. The bodysuit has elasticized leg openings and a snap placket for easy changes. The elasticized pull-on pants have a roomy fit and are quick to sew. And the reversible jacket features raglan sleeves and a snap closure.
