As a soon-to-be first time grandmother (YEA!!! We are so excited!!!), I , naturally intend to sew all of Logan’s clothes. A little ambitious, I know, but I must try.
I have all ready made many suits, overalls, rompers, shirts for him, but I am having trouble finding knit fabric of the quality I want.
I almost broke down yesterday and bought some Carter’s rompers (Macy’s had a sale), but I am determined to sew his little layette myself. Can anyone suggest an internet source, or a retailer in/near Houston that has the fabric I seek?

Martha Pullen carries baby knits and other fabrics in her catalog or you can check them out here: https://store.marthapullen.com
Thank you all for such great suggestions!
I have ordered fabric from Martha Pullen, and swatch kits from SewBaby, and Sewzanne.
My intent is for Logan to be the comfyiest and best dressed baby in Texas! Once again, a new baby is causing me to go without sleep. I thought this was supposed to end with menopause . . .
I'm just a beginner sewer, but I now have three grandsons! May I suggest bibs, bibs and more bibs. My daughters especially like the dishtowel type. Cut a hole for the head and add knit ribbing. You can also sew two flannel pieces in a rectangular shape, turn and add the head space in the same way. Our four month grandson is already teething and the bibs are really a necessity! I have great fun using decorative stitches and embroidery on them. It's a wonderful way for beginners like me to play and experiment, but any level sewer could have fun with them I think.
Keep on sewing!
These sites reference heirloom and smocking but have a large variety of quality fabric for sewing for babies and children. Just type in "cotton knit" or whatever type of knit you're looking for in the Search box.
