Sewing Baby Patterns?
I have so many cute ideas for decorations on baby clothes, but i have no patterns to make the actual clothes. Does anyone know where i can find free patterns to make baby onesies, dresses, shorts, overalls,etc???? 
Kwik Sew sells a book with a number of basic patterns from birth to age two bound into the back. You trace off the size & pattern pieces that you want to use. I ended up with the baby, toddler, children, and swim suit pattern books for my own use (love the patterns). Their sizing reflects ready to wear and the pattern drafters don’t accidentally use the ease requirements for garments intended for adults (another company’s pattern for a size 2 toddler’s shorts, tank top, and baseball shirt ended up not really fitting my son until he was six – and he wasn’t THAT small for his age, running around the 55% to 60% percentile on the average growth chart).
Wild Ginger (www.wildginger.com) has a free pattern drafting program with some patterns sized for preemies – I don’t remember if it goes to larger sizes.
Martha Pullen has some heirloom sewing patterns (smocking, lace insertion, and embroidery) that are based on techniques used on clothes made for babies & children in the past – they are usually used for dressier events (christenings, photo shoots at various holidays, or because Grandma loves the techniques) in modern times.
Another option is to buy a baby garment at a thrift store or garage sale and carefully take it apart to make a pattern from it. Take notes on how you take it apart, then start at the last thing you did and reverse things to put a new garment together after. If it works well – trace it on paper to keep as a “master pattern” for yourself with notes on the direction of stretch, location of snaps or buttons, how many you need to cut of that pattern piece (two sleeves, one front, one back, two fronts for pants, etc.).

When you buy clothes for your baby,,, do you?
usually buy one size larger?
my daughter is 18 months old and have been able to wear 2T ever since she was 15 months. Its starting get little warmer some days in Southern California so I had to buy few short sleeves. She fits 2T right now. Its not big on her at all. If anything its little snug. So I bought some 3T but they are the same! I guess there is not much difference in 2T and 3T?? ( I usually buy my daughter’s clothes at Old Navy and Target. I think there size run about the same)
Should I start buying 4T so that she can wear it through all summer long? I bought one 4T just to see if it was too big on her. T shirts fit sort of like tunic but it didnt look bad.
Hm. How do you buy your babies clothes? Do you buy them to last like me? or what fits your baby?
I buy 2-3 sizes larger. My daughter grows so fast.
I try to buy clothes with the open foot part so that I can just roll it up.
What’s the point in buying clothing they can only wear for 2-3 weeks.
