New Born Sized Patterns- Says Who?

           I'm frustrated with patterns saying they are newborn sizes, so I'm trying to make my own pattern.  I took a bodice pattern piece and tried to downsize it.  
           Instead of using my fabric stash, I practiced on a pair of short pants no one could wear anymore.  I highlighted the stitched seams.  
It still swallowed a 7 pound baby!

Still trying.  When I succeed, I plan to share the pattern.
Thanks to the FREE programs:

  1. Misery loves company. Thanks Amy for feeling my pain. I hope you have luck finding that special size, or perhaps making your own.

  3. That's adorable. I love the look of the pant fabric {and color!} and the ribbon.

  4. This is sweet though. Even if you think it is still too big. I like how you incorporated the flat feld? seams.
    Thanks for linking up.
