CHRISTENING GOWNS WANTED







The call has been sounded for preemie christening gowns. It appears that we in The Preemie Project need to make up our own patterns for such specialized items. If you know of any knitted christening gown patterns or are willing to try your hand at a pattern please send them my way so I can let others in the group know. I made my son's christening gown from McCall's Needlework & Crafts April 1988 issue. It turned out great though I know where I goofed. Still it's from my heart and I hope (my boys) will want to use it for any children they may have. ( I may try to alter the pattern to fit a preemie, but it's June and that means it's SEW TIME!)

    Lana,

    This is beautiful! And, even more beautiful is that you are going to give it to someone else to treasure. Your heart and love for good works inspires me.

    Sorry I wasn't clear. Not going to give this to The Preemie Project. I meant that I hope my boys will use it. I may try to alter the pattern, but this one is a family treasure!

    I absolutely love this gown and hoping someone could let me know where to find the pattern. I have gone to all the libraries in the area and asked Mom and family to look through their old magazines and no one has this month and year not even McCalls. Please email to cmvanwie@yahoo.com

    Thank you in advance!
