When you are truly busy making, writing about making takes the back seat and keeps very very quiet.
Sweet dreams are made of these...

Merino cotton sleeping gowns |
Ah, all those lovely woolly blankets for babies. They are a con!
Mobile babies do not sleep under blankets. They wriggle and crawl, and
sit up, and stand up, and roll, and fold in half, and recite passages
from Das Kapital; all in the confines of their cot and mostly without
waking up. Sleeping under blankets is something they do not do. At
least mine doesn't, so I will assume that this fact bears true for the
rest of the babykind. We know that assumptions are an assessment
necessity that keep the world turning.

Merino Kids sleep sacks |
Sleep sacks are
wonderful. We were gifted a couple of good quality merino ones by our
friendly neighbours before Zaika was born. The sleep sacks are
sleeveless, and I wanted to add another clothing layer that would cover the arms but would not ride up. I sewed a couple of quick and simple sleeping gowns based on a basic onesie pattern. The elasticated drawstrings help keep them in place. Easy as pie...

Are you pie? |
Put a sock in it...

Merino footed pants |
I also made some
footed pants for a friend's baby from some amazingly soft Icrebreaker merino. Socks for babies are as much of a con as blankets. The feet are double layer for extra warmth. No more icicle toes.
