PANDA BABY SET

This is an adaptation of my Baby Set that consists of a diaper cover, booties, scarf and hat that fashioned to make the baby look like a panda when dressed in it.  The inspiration for making this set was a co-worker.  My co-worker is expecting her first daughter and my co-worker’s nickname at work is Panda.  So, I decided to make this Panda Baby Set as a baby shower gift to her.
