One of my favorite combinations is a terry cloth back and a button down shirt front. Last year I made four from various button down shirts for our nephew.
The blue with the black buttons in my favorite. |
For the particular baby I have in mind today, I wanted to try something a little bolder than stripes and plaids.
It's not a shirt I would ever have worn but in this small amount it works. And if the island print is a little loud for the future wearer (or the parents), the terry cloth can easily become the outfacing side.
I was somewhat hesitant about using part of the towel with the decorative weave but after seeing both sides together I'm really glad I went with it - especially if it ends up being used terry cloth side out.
Eventually I'll attach some kind of closure. I've used Velcro in the past, but I worry about it snagging on hair or being trouble when it comes to washing these. So this time I'm leaning toward snaps instead.
