[Ansteorra] Baby garb

[Lisa]

My son is now 5, and what we currently use or him is breeks and a simple
T-tunic.  On days he doesn't want to wear that, or to dress it up a little,
we also have simple tabards to go over whatever he's wearing.  When he was
an infant we mostly went to summer events and it was basically a diaper and
t-shirt, and I carried him around in a cloth sling which allowed me to nurse
discretely.  He's hit the point where he wants his breeks and tunics to be
of the same material as Daddy's, so we buy extra material for whatever's
being made for Daddy. :)  Until he hits an age where he's insistent on a
certain style, we'll probably stick to breeks, t-tunics and tabards, as
children tend to be very rough on clothing.

> I have made small t-tunics with bias tape for the neck and sleeves and
then used the knit pants and long-sleeved onesies you can get at Wal-mart
for layering.  For fabrics, just linen or linen-look cottons for summer, and
corduroy or velveteen for winter.  You'd be amazed at how far a 12" x 24"
scrap of fabric will go, if you have that lying around.  That can make a
baby tunic.  The problem I ran in to was forgetting how big an opening I
really needed for their heads!  I just made a standard yoke opening.  Hope
this info is useful.
