Recommend book/patterns for infants made from WOVEN fabrics?

Question

Everything I can find is from knit fabrics. I want to make some garments from my quilting stash as gifts. I'm especially looking for a raglan top pattern since it seems more generous to fit chubby arms. Any tips?

Answer 1

Oh, quilty fabrics make the cutest baby clothes!  I did that for my son when he was tiny (he's now 13 and can make his own jeans!  :D ).

Here are a few more 'traditional' style baby things that would be improved no end by being made from really jazzy quilty prints:

I can't see many raglan style things in anything other than knits.  Anyway, these might get you thinking...  Have fun!

Answer 2

There are lots of patterns for wovens. Any style that is crisp and neat looking.
