Baby Isolette Shirts

According to neonatal care nurses, the most important design feature of an isolette shirt is that it not interfere with the monitoring equipment.  Having said that, they also stress the importance of preemie clothes to the parents who have a tiny baby in a neonatal unit. Bright-colored clothing with cute reminders of a happy childhood are very encouraging to parents who visit their baby in the hospital, often for weeks and months on end.  The challenge for those of us who sew these tiny garments is to add color and embellishment without doing anything to harm the baby.  The photographs below will give you some ideas for using fabrics and trims to embellish isolette shirts.  Using bright fabrics and flat trims, as well as machine or hand embroidery, brighten the tiny isolette shirts, delighting the parents who visit daily.  You are sure to come up with embellishment ideas of your own.  We would love for you to e-mail photographs of your own creations to us.
