I love this pattern I am just finishing the second one. I have a great granddaughter due to be born in July and because I want to make this as a keepsake I am going to add a label marked out so that the details of the babies birth can be filled in. This will be added to the gift basket instead of the usual shop bought soft toy. I also love the sleeping baby pattern l have done a few of these and hope that they will be keepsakes instead of a toy and I plan to make gift boxes for them. Love all the patterns that I have purchased so clear and easy to do. Many thanksxx
