Minnie Mouse outfit in Pink

Hello everyone,

I finally finished the little Minnie Mouse outfit that my grandson asked for as a present to his mum who is expecting her first child with her partner.

It was great hearing him give it to her and in a proud voice saying that he had chosen it and Grammy had made it.

Needless to say his mum was full of praise for his thoughtfulness.

It makes the heart glow when you hear a parent commending their child on thinking of others.

Anyway, this is the final outfit, with many thanks to the following site for their free pattern, tips and hints.

Crochet Baby Outfit from followthestray

Follow the Stray's patterns were easy to follow and quick to crochet. I would highly recommend checking out her hubpage as she has a delightful assortment of articles, patterns etc to peruse.

Would love to hear some feedback on what you think,

Happy Crafting,

My eldest grandson's (son's son) Mummy is expecting a little girl in September with her partner and my gorgeous boy has asked that I make her a Minnie Mouse outfit BUT it must be in pink and white--because pink is for girl's you know. I told you he is gorgeous. 

So what is a Grammy to do but do as he so sweetly asked. 

I have had a bit of a search on Google and Pinterest and found this adorable craation on Follow The Stray.

The pattern seems to be very simple and she not only explains what she has done but how she has enhanced on other people's patterns (with credits provided). 

What I do when I find a pattern on a blog or website or even from an email, I click on print, then change it to save as a pdf. That way I can file the patterns on Google Drive.

When I have finished this outfit, I will post up photo's of my completed creation as well as the links to the different sites that have been used. 

UPDATE ON SWING JACKET FOR MUM.

I completed the back when to my dismay I realised that there was no way it would fit my Mum, so after getting exact measurements of her, I have worked the fronts and back accordingly. I have completed the left and right fronts and am half way through the back. I chose an 8mm crochet hook and have found that even though it is just plain half double crochet, it is coming out as a nice warm but lightweight jacket.

Will post photo's when it is finished along with information on what I had done.

Until next time,

Happy Crafting everyone!
