I love creative baby pictures! I saw this idea on Pinterest (crocheted) and decided to give it a try.

I am not amazing at crocheting so I decided to sew it instead.

Here is a picture of my “pattern” (which I really just drew up myself & eyeballed.)

I used a skirt I had that had nice pretty ruffles on the bottom (makes a nice fin part & the top part). The measurements I used is 7.5″ wide and 20″ long (not including the fin part). One note: This fit my newborn (2 weeks/8 lb.) great… but if you are making for a bigger baby I would make it wider… I also make a pretty flower/pearl headband to go with it.

Isn’t it an adorable combination of baby cuteness and mermaid dreaminess?

Modesty first! Haha! 🙂

I couldn’t get enough pictures of her in this!
