Making for Baby

We have a dear friend who recently had a baby girl and I have been itching to make her something since she was welcomed into the world.  Sewing is still something I am learning to do despite a couple of years of practice.  
In looking for patterns to sew for this new and dear one, I came across the baby kimono in Weekend Sewing.  I was a little concerned as sewing for a newborn seems so, well, tiny.  And I feel like a bull in a china closet around all of that sewing tininess.  

But I took the plunge and cut into that Liberty of London fabric and out came this tiny top.  I had some bias tape issues (as usual) and I still haven't really figured out tension on my machine, but all in all, I am pretty happy with it.

And well you should be!! It's adorable. I love the pattern, I LOVE the fabric, and the contrasting bias tape is perfect... Good job!

It's absolutely beautiful. I've never been good at sewing tiny clothes and I think you did an amazing job. Darling fabric, too.
