A good friend of mine recently became a new mom … to twins! In celebration (and awe!) of her and her growing family, I made her two little guys a few classic pieces from our Sewn Layette, this time in Robert Kaufman’s irresistibly soft and cozy Shetland Flannel.

Our Sewn Layette Pattern is one of my personal favorites and includes instructions and pattern pieces for the Shirt, Romper, and Pants you see here, as well as Bloomers and the Shirt and Romper with short sleeves, all in sizes from newborn to 6 months.

I like to think of these new garments as a made-with-love cuddle that I’m giving the boys from afar and also as a big high-five to their amazing new mom! -Corinne
