I got a sewing machine for Christmas. (And I'm a total newb).
My first project was a wet bag, and my second project was THIS!
I made it out of a thrift store sweater that I felted, and I didn't use a pattern. I just sort of traced around the fitted!
And I'm really proud of myself

Sadly, it's possible that I made it a little too small. We will have to see in the morning.
Re: I must AW this.
I'm sitting here staring at it, and I'm about 99% sure it's not going to fit my 5 month old.
It would probably fit a 1-3 month old wearing a fitted.

Sounds like you're doing great with your sewing machine just trying things is half the battle!
I would be so happy if you could get some use out of it... PM me with your address and I'll have it in the mail for you
It'll probably fit a chunky newborn up to 3 months.
And it's definitely not perfect, but I made it with love!
