This book is packed with ideas for things to make for children from birth to two years old, using your unwanted outfits. Turn an old T-shirt into a romper, a blouse into a bodysuit – even an old pair of jeans into a changing bag and mittens! Simply follow the clear instructions and colourful patterns to make practical clothes using basic sewing techniques. Get restyling and restitching and give your old clothes a new lease of life! Transforming pre-loved clothes into stylish, unique garments for your baby or toddler is great for the environment, great for your bank balance and, most of all, great fun! In Restyle & Restitch for Little Ones, you will find 30 sewing projects for creating stylish baby clothes, from newborns to two-year-olds, including trousers, dresses, sweaters, mittens, rompers and socks. The projects are accompanied by colourful, full-size patterns to help you make the most of your repurposed clothing. You will discover how best to change the size of any of the patterns in the book to suit your own child's measurements, and how to choose the most appropriate clothing to use rather than convert, taking into account the young wearer's safety. The projects are complemented by gorgeous photographs of the author's own children and their friends modelling the restyled outfits, and by Linnea's extra hints and tips for making the most of your well-worn items.
