I just love suspenders on little boys so I decided Luke had to have a pair. After researching the Internet I was unable to find any in his size so I decided to make them. I found a wonderful tutorial on a blog I love called Make It and Love It (to see tutorial click here.)
I made the tutorial quite a bit easier by using ribbon instead of cloth. For a baby the ribbon is already the perfect width so that cuts out a lot of steps. Hobby Lobby has actual suspender clips that you can purchase making things very easy.
I was really pleased with the result and have since made Luke a couple other pairs. I personally think he looks like a little old man!!

i am making a pair for a friens and i do not have his measurements!! Do you have the measurements for a 3 month old baby?
Hi! My son needed ribbon that was 14 in long. I will admit he was in the 98th percentile at this age so depending on how tall the baby is you might want to go a bit shorter.
Ahhhh so cute I’m going to do it!!! Thanks do much xx
I’m so glad! Send me pictures when you make them!
Oh my gosh these suspenders are so adorable! I need to make my son a pair
