Ahhhhhh…I’ve just returned home from spending a few days helping my daughter Rebecca with new baby Vivian Rose and Alastair, 3.\u00c2\u00a0 I miss them already.<\/p>\n

At Rebecca’s special request, I had made up the Sweet Baby Jane<\/a> bubble pattern by Sara Norris.\u00c2\u00a0 And then I forgot to pack it.\u00c2\u00a0 She was disappointed, but it will go out to her in Monday’s mail.<\/p>\n

This darling pattern first came to my attention when I saw Lisa’s adorable interpretation which was shown on her blog,\u00c2\u00a0 Mommy’s Apron Strings<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 A few days later, I met my friend Suzanne Sawko for our regular Monday “meeting” for lunch at Panera.\u00c2\u00a0 She shared photos of the Sweet Baby Jane she had made for her sweet grandbaby Waverly.\u00c2\u00a0 I bought the pattern that day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a fabulous e-pattern.\u00c2\u00a0 I love these downloadable patterns, with no shipping and immediate gratification.<\/p>\n

It is quickly made and so precious.\u00c2\u00a0 The directions are fabulous, with photos of each and every step.\u00c2\u00a0 Vivian Rose will have more of these.<\/p>\n

I do have a few tips for you if you make this.\u00c2\u00a0 Of course, I can say nothing about the fit, but Suzanne made it up to fit 2 year old Waverly and was a little disappointed that it did not have the blousy pouf as shown in the photo.\u00c2\u00a0 But Waverly is tall for her age, so she needed additional length.\u00c2\u00a0 To get the pouf, it would be wise to compare the child’s measurements to the pattern.<\/p>\n

Another pointer for fussier readers has to do with the ruffles.\u00c2\u00a0 The directions offer\u00c2\u00a0 options for many of the steps in construction.\u00c2\u00a0 It was suggested that the ruffles be serged or narrow hemmed.\u00c2\u00a0 I had serged the ruffles on Vivian\u00c2\u00a0 Rose’s ruffle butt diaper cover<\/a> and was disappointed.\u00c2\u00a0 So for Sweet Baby Jane the ruffles were rolled and whipped.\u00c2\u00a0 The finish was very satisfactory.<\/p>\n

One more FYI…the ruffles are to be cut 42-45″ across the width of the fabric.\u00c2\u00a0 My lavender gingham was a vintage piece from the estate sale<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 (scroll down to Lace History) of the fabric hoarder lady. The cotton gingham was only 34″ wide.\u00c2\u00a0 I debated whether or not to piece enough to get 44″ but instead decided that I would just go with one 34″ length.\u00c2\u00a0 As you can see, the ruffles are adequate.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know how that would have worked on a larger size though.<\/p>\n

Leaving Rebecca and the children was hard.<\/p>\n

But coming home is always a joy.\u00c2\u00a0 In the few days that I was gone, the azaleas had begun to bloom.\u00c2\u00a0 And the oak leaves were falling like rain.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s how it is in central Florida.\u00c2\u00a0 Here, fall and falling leaves means January.<\/p>\n
