I’ve mentioned the Jamie in a couple of other posts but I’ve only recently begun to appreciate its versatility. I’ve needed to make baby gifts for strangers, family and friends quite a bit recently-I find myself reaching for the Jamie for every gift.
Each time I think of the ideal garment to see a one-month-old or a one-year-old in, I think of the Jamie. Whether you do it in knit (I have a blog post of this too!), broadcloth, or a delicate batiste, it is always a hit with moms-to-be.
As I mentioned in my sunsuit post, I have a thing for chubby baby legs. They’re irresistible. The Jamie highlights them in the cutest way possible.
Do you have inspiration pics of a Jamie you’d like to share? Post them on instagram and tag me-I’ll happily repost!
If you’re looking for a new pattern to tackle, or are wanting to dabble in smocking. I highly recommend this pattern. You can find it here.

Your work is so beautiful! I purchased the Jamie as soon as i saw it…but have yet to make it. Once i saw how it was constructed…and being that i pleat my own fabric…i cannot figure how to pleat it with no back seam. Do you have any tips??
Thanks!

I (and several people I’ve asked) treat it like a bishop and accept the center seam. I add a half in seam allowance to the center back and do a French seam. Sorry I can’t be of more help!
