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.

Peddler's Mall in March, 2013 ~ DIY Projects




Seems like I always find more DIY projects for Mr. G than me.  Anytime I see stuff made out of old wood using a simple pattern, I try to make a mental note or take a shot.
Legs on this bench looked simple.
Planter which has a raised bottom inside to hold a flower pot.
Pallet bench with little disassembling of the pallet.  Those things aren't easy to take apart.  I know because I've watched Mr. G take one apart. 
I'm guessing it was an outdoor wedding.
Every kind of board all in one.
Red always catches my eye.  I remember Dad using the old bug duster in the garden.
