a gift for a little baby boy

One of the ladies in my sewing club (chic et pas cher) has given birth to a lovely baby boy.   His name is Camiel, and he weighs 4kg300gr ,  which is quite heavy !

That may be uncomfortable when the little gentleman is lying down in his pram.

I like the colours for a boy.
