Sewn Layette Pattern
We love the tradition of a layette, a little bundle of necessities to prepare a newborn for its first few months. And even more, we love the idea of sewing it ourselves! Purl Soho's Sewn Layette Pattern is ripe for mixing and matching, so whether you’re making one special piece or one of everything, baby is sure to look super sweet. Sized from newborn to 6 months, this pattern is available as a PDF download.
