Hand Made Clothes

   
Reflect A Special Kind of Love

There's nothing like clothes made by caring, warm hands for a loved one. Your baby looks most beautiful and comfortable in a sweater knitted with love by grandma or yourself. Those knitted, crocheted, home made clothes are just too precious and valuable for words.  Matching socks, cardigans, caps, handkerchiefs and other accessories add to the charm of home made baby clothes.

There is a magic in handmade clothing that transcends the colors, the styles, even the quality of the handiwork. It's as if every stitch and every knot was imbued with the love of the hands that crafted them. And so it is only right that many expectant mothers start knitting and making hand made baby clothes for their yet to be born baby.

Making baby clothes is more than a way to save money or create unique clothing styles. It's a way to surround them with love, to weave your wishes into the fabric as you shape and create each piece.

As the years pass by you can sew, knit and crochet sweaters, sun suits, dresses, short sets, blankets, quilts, hats and pants for your growing children. Starting with their homecoming outfit, each of your children can have special clothes that you can design and create just for them. As you dress them in clothes made by you, you surround them with love and warmth that can never be found in store made ready to wear clothes.

Not just the mothers but the children themselves treasure these precious hand made clothes. You will find them trying to find creative uses for these clothes which they have long ago outgrown. The same sweater that your 3 year old wore till she was six or seven is now proudly worn by her teddy.

Your son would have found a similar use for a favorite shirt or blanket.

You will find many such examples of how the clothes made by you continue to linger in the homes of your children while the store bought clothes have long been given away, lost or forgotten.

There is magic in your hands when you create clothing for your baby, the magic of a mother's love that is never, ever completely forgotten.

I still have the hand made home coming dress that my mom made for me. It the cutest little baby pink crotched dress with dainty roses perched beautifully all over. My own daughter wore it when she came home.
