please excuse the horrible lighting and the brown carpet. I could only find the point and shoot.
A little bit a go I made this baby boy set for one of my friends that is having a boy in August. I don't have a tutorial for the vest onesie, maybe I might write one sometime. I measured the sides of the onesie and the tops of the shoulders to make my pattern. I sewed the two pieces, one to each side and then sewed the two buttons to them. I used a suiting material I found at D.I. and two gray buttons from Walmart.
For the bow tie I used Lemon Squeezy Home's bow tie
tutorial. I used fusible interfacing instead of fleece or felt. I was fairly pleased with how it turned out but next time that I make them that I will try using the felt because it might make the bow tie look more plump.
For the blanket I measured one of my daughters receiving blankets to figure out how big I wanted it to be. I cut two pieces of fleece to the size and then put them right sides together. I traced around one of our cereal bowls with a marking pen to make the scalloped edge. Each corner is 3/4 around the bowl and the sides are less then 1/2 way around. Then I sewed along the lines leaving a 3 inch hole for turning it. After I finished sewing then I went and trimmed all the way around to remove any excess fabric. I also clipped in between each scallop. I turned it inside out, pressed it and top stitched it making sure to enclose the opening I left for turning.
