  1. Your picture is so tiny that I cannot see any detail. I’d love to see a larger picture of this set as I am looking for baby boy outfits. Can you post a larger photo? There is plenty of space on your page to put something bigger than a postage stamp.

    • Hi Linda thanks for visiing my website. I’m sorry but that is the best picture I have for this pattern. I’m sure if you follow the pattern you will come out just fine.
