Ruffled Summer Baby Set

I just finished this - in pure cotton for an Aussie summer baby. The hat pattern is Ellen's Ruffled Baby Hat.

The jacket is also Ellen's - an adaptation of the Little Lamb pattern from Precious Layettes for Baby by Jeannine (Leisure Arts #3202) Ellen very kindly made her adaptation available to members on a Yahoo group site I belong to.

The booties are from Handknits by Elena on Etsy.com - #40 White shoes with an Xstrap
Are these cute, or what?

The set was made for a lady who lives about  a 90 minute drive from me. I mailed the package to her 4 weeks ago. Australia Post has lost it! It never turned up so I had to remake the whole thing for her. And I delivered it to her personally, yesterday. Thanks Australia Post - your service is getting worse.....

What a beautiful little outfit! It is just gorgeous. I'm so sorry the first one went missing. Let's hope it is found by someone who would dearly love to have a set like this.

Well I personally drove down and delivered the second one - when I saw that the mail box is at the bottom of the drive on a busy main road, yards away from the block of flats where she lived , I was not surprised it went missing - I bet the postie just dumped the parcel on top of the mail box and didn't bother going up to the house!! So obviously someone just helped themselves....

Could you perhaps give us the link to the yahoo group

dianelouw - it is a closed group by invitation only - Babysweaters. However, you must have the Leisure Arts #3202 'Precious Layettes for Baby" in order to be able to benefit from the pattern adaptation - unless you have the original pattern you will not be able to use Ellen's modification. The Babysweaters group is well worth joining for its own sake, though.
