Stitchwerx Designs Ainsley & Aiden Baby Suite I Blog Tour

Welcome to Day 2 of the Ainsley & Aiden Baby Suite pattern collection by Stitchwerx Designs! There’s a giveaway over on the Stitchwerx blog to win the patterns! Link at the end of the post 🙂

I love sewing for my Baby V, she’s just the cutest baby! (I’m totally biased I know). Plus baby patterns use way less fabric than women ones do, ha.


These were the first Stitchwerx Designs patterns that I’ve sewn up. (Although I already own another but haven’t had a chance to sew it yet but after working on these ones it has gone right to the top of my sewing list!) 

Tiddly Wink topper square beanie, Bitty Beetle tee, and the Comfy Caterpillar pants with no cuffs

Stitchwerx patterns are so easy to read. Each main part of the construction is separated into different sections with steps in each section, for example sleeves, side seams, and so on. Which is great for someone like me who gets interrupted frequently, makes it easy to remember where I stopped off. 😉

Bitty Beetle tee and Roly Poly pants

There are four patterns included in the Ainsley & Aiden Baby Suite: the Bitty Beetle, which includes the bodysuit, tee and gown; the Comfy Caterpillar knit pants; the Roly Poly pants (which are fully lined); and the Tiddly Wink Toppers, which can be square or rounded. With all the options its really a lot more than 4! The bundle is on sale for a limited time at the price of $18.75 (individually they will be a total of $25) The sale price is good until June 20th after which the patterns will be released individually.


I know we shouldn’t play favourites but my favourite pattern of the bunch is probably the Bitty Beetle. With this one pattern you can make a tee, snap shirt/bodysuit or gown. I love the lap tee neckline, so easy to get on and off. And I love baby gowns! They’re great for babies that like to kick off their blankets. They’re so hard to find in the bigger baby sizes, she outgrew all hers at around 6 months. So I’m happy to make a few more 🙂

Bitty Beetle baby gown, long sleeves with mittens -obviously I didn’t make a coordinated set :p
