The everyday set lets you create a bib and booties ensemble for each day of the week. Get your hands on Lily Sugar’n Cream for this practical project, and complete a set in 100% cotton – always appreciated by moms. Try this one in non-traditional colors too, since you get a wide range of shades to choose from.
