If you click on the “tutorials” button on the left sidebar you will fund the gown tutorial listed and I just checked the links and they seem to be working. Let me know if you have any more problems!

Hi Carrie,
I seem to be having the same issue trying to download the pdf. Is there anyway you could email the pattern to me?
Thanks! I LOVE this and would like to make one for my son who should be arriving any day now

I just found your blog through a convoluted series of DIY and sewing links, and I was pleasantly surprised to see you’re practically my neighbor! I’m a longtime dabbler in many areas of crafting, and I was wondering if you knew of any good sewing classes in our area. I have a 9 month old and a full time job, so time is at a premium, but I really would like to get past the pants-hemming skill level with my sewing machine. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Keep up the great blog!

I keep thinking I need to snap a photo of my sewing space. It’s not a room, just a corner of a room. You don’t need much to be creative.

Dear Carrie,
I just came across your link this morning! Love your ideas, I’m 62 and have been sewing for years, but you can always learn something new. I love thrift shops and now I am thinking about all of the times I’ve found a skirt or dress that the fabric was just wonderful (but not something I would wear). Now I know what to do with this gems! Your little model is adorable, I’ve used my grandbaby for photos of my creations. thank you for sharing….now I need to make a dress for a little lady!
Regards,
Grammy!

Thanks for taking the time to write that nice comment! Totally made my day. Your granddaughter is super lucky to have someone to make her dresses. I hope she always realizes how special those dresses are.

Hi, Carrie! I’ve been really inspired by all of your great thrifted re-fashions and baby stuff tutorials. I feel empowered to give my 3-month-old a wardrobe other than saccharine pink onesies…as soon as I find time to make it! I also want to try to make nursing tops (the ones with those super discreet open spots so no one can tell you have your shirt open in public) and was wondering if you’ve tried it before. I have some plans (fake cami panels in v-neck shirts, re-making empire waist tops with a pull-up panel, etc) but I was wondering if you had any experience.

Hey Julia, I’ve never made myself any nursing tops. Never actually owned any either. I’ve always been fine with just throwing a blanket up. Good luck with your plans for baby clothes and nursing clothes!

Hello,
I sew/sell things to raise money for the local food pantry. May I use your pattern for the baby high chair? All the the profit is used to buy fresh food to add to the donated canned goods. http://www.etsy.com/shop/MoreThanSoup
