Here you go! Keep in mind I got C’s in my college pattern making classes. It works, but it isn’t perfect. Let me know if you have any questions or need any clarifications.
Newborn Gown Pattern (pdf)
You will probably have to choose “shrink to printable area” to get it the right size. It’s the right size if the top is 5″ wide and the sleeve is 7 1/2″ across “join” line. Lately, I have been lengthening the pattern by 14″ instead of the 12 1/2″ as stated on the bodice patterns.

Thanks for the pattern. I used it to make a baby gown out of 1/2 yard of flannel here: http://swishina.blogspot.com/2009/07/baby-gown.html

Thanks for the pattern and tutorial. I'm trying this tonight. Just finished tracing up the full sized pattern and now I'm resting my puffy feet before I start pinning and cutting.
Also, for those having PDF issues — go into your print options and select shrink to printable area or fit to printable area instead of None. I did "none" the first time and it was huge. When you choose the shrink option, it prints at 70% and is perfectly sized.

Just wanted to stop back and say I've made two of these so far and am loving them! They come out adorable and are so easy. Thanks for creating and sharing the pattern. You rock!

Thanks for the heads up on shrinking to fit the page. Like Jennifer, mine was printing larger than the page. I then went and drew back in the missing sections but that made for a HUGE pattern and I was quite fearful of it being TOO big for a newborn. Shrank to fit page and THIS looks like it will be perfect.
THANKS!

Just wanted to thank you for the pattern! I ended up changing it up to better suit my purposes, but I linked to it on my blog. http://urbanpioneerwoman.blogspot.com/2010/03/last-of-baby-items-at-least-for-while.html

Thanks so much for the tutorial and pattern. It was easy follow, and I can’t wait to make more. I posted a link on my blog. If that is not ok with you, please let me know, and I will take it down!

Do you use a zigzag stitch on the whole gown (seams, bottom, etc)? Or is this just for embellishment on the neckline and sleeves? If you use a straight stitch to sew the seams together, is the knit still able to stretch some? I am new to sewing and newly pregnant, so while I really want to make these, I have a million questions!

I’ve tried clicking on all your links for tutorials and patterns and none of them work (not even links anymore). Is there some permission field I’m missing or something? I’m wanting to make some baby gowns for my upcoming little boy since all the ones in the store will drown most newborns.

Nicole, not sure what’s happening. I just clicked on all the links in the post and they worked. They are downloadable pdf’s. I can try to e-mail them to you if you want.

(surfing to try and find the tutorials some other way and discovered that you’re a triathlete?! Me too! I LOVE tris!!!! They are my therapy
That’s been the hardest part of this pregnancy for me- sitting out this race season. How cool! I have a SIL who is a triathlete and has a great sew/craft blog too… sewdangcute.blogspot.com)

I’d love to try making this nightgown but I can’t get the sewing instructions to open. The pattern and pattern instructions open fine. Is there something up with the pdf?

I just checked it and it’s opening fine for me. Not sure what’s going on. I will attach in an e-mail to you and see if that works.

I am trying to print this on A4 (european) sized paper, and using the shrink to fit option. the sleeve measurement comes out perfect, but the top front 5″ measurement doesn’t seem to be right. Do I measure 5″ all the way across both sides of the top near the neckline? or do I measure 5″ across on one side (one pattern piece)? or is it measured at the bottom of the pattern piece? I can’t seem to find 5″ anywhere.

nevermind, I think I got it. 5″ on each pattern piece measured across at the “extend” line. It works the same on A4 paper, I just have pregnancy brain!!
