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.

This is great! I made some today, added them to the flickr pool, and I also linked from my website back to yours 🙂
I love this project – yet another use for thrifted tees! Do you have instructions for making the fold-over mittten cuffs?

YAY! I did it! 🙂 http://the-webbpage.blogspot.com/2011/07/sewing-for-bebe.html
Thanks for the help on twitter a couple weeks ago!
So what do I sew together first? did you finish the neck line or sure a surger?
Kind of lost with the lack of instructions after cutting the pattern.

Hey Becky,
You can find the updated tutorial HERE: http://thismamamakesstuff.com/2011/08/the-new-improved-rockin-baby-gown-tutorial-with-hand-flaps/. Hopefully you’ll find all the instructions you need to finish your gown!
I hope you don’t mind if I link this page to a frugal forum I belong to. There is a thread looking at re-inventing things and I love your t-shirt/gown. I am going to have a go at making it when I have some time.

Thanks for the link!
Just made one–turned out great. Thanks for the tutorial/pattern!
Hey just wanted to say you can make the gowns for older babies 0-9 months, if you make the length 16 to 18 inches instead of 14. I am going to put pictures up later. Also made a few short sleeve ones since my baby is a spring baby.
Do you have any advise on how to create the sleeves ruffled like in the last picture? How much should I add to the sleeve?
Great to know the — in depth from this blog. 🙂 Design Your Own Shirts
I LOVE this tutorial! I made a few for my daughter while I was pregnant with her but now she has grown out of them! (7 months now!) I was wondering what do you suggest to alter (for example, by how many inches) to make this to fit a 7 month old. I’m new to sewing so don’t really know a reasonable amount to add to the sleeves and neck to make them bigger to fit.
Can’t wait to here back! :))
Lovely collection of clothes.. i really loved it… 🙂 Storage Cabinet
I quite like looking through a post that will make people think.
Also, many thanks for permitting me to comment!
This looks great– wondering if anyone has scaled it down for a preemie gown? What scaling would fit a TINY baby?
For one thing, these units are completely eco-friendly,
relying on nothing more than the power of super-heated steam to loosen and remove different kinds of stains and deposits.
Whether you buy OEM vacuum cleaner bags or after-market ones, you do not
need to buy them straight from the company. Try to find brands which are highly regarded, instead of the higher-end models
which will cause you to spend a fortune.
Don’t believe the concept that the more expensive the item is, better it will be.
Once you definitively answer that question, you can build a new,
updated strategy from there-before you’re making any
investments that may or may not as focused and efficient as they ought to be.
The front speakers should be placed about 4 – 5 feet away through the TV,
along with the rear speakers should also be placed in the identical manner, but on the rear portion along with appropriate distances from each other.
I think this is among the most significant information for me.
