Bless you . How do you do this to your self and we all know the answer! No way can you make a 1 piece garment without measurements. Make it two piece and hope for the best. I love your caring attitude. Kay
85867God bless you, Toogie, for your generous spirit & for using your many talents for the Lord's work.
Have you considered using microfiber sheets for the fabric? Many resale shops have whole sets as people don't like them for sleeping. They can be bought for a small price to practice on. You would then have access to multiple colors & pattern designs to make some of your gorgeous clothing designs.

I only have one micro fiber sheet but I didn't realize it was 100% polyester. Thanks for the info. Mine is white, so I will check out the thrift shop.
4315You have such a warm and giving heart, Toogie...so glad you have gotten clarification that any garment that is 100% polyester will work...as you have discovered, fleece is a good choice...and I agree a two piece outfit with longer length on the top and sleeves and legs would be a great choice...There are some free toddler pattern at Craftsy...

I give God the glory for any and everything He does, through me. He said to use our talents and if sewing is mine,looks like I'm in the right place here.
I have company coming after while for the evening meal. I'm through with my part salad and desert, DH is doing the main,but really can't get into sewing yet, as no time today. I did find some pink fleece today and it is 100% poly. I have to check my patterns out. I found out can be ANY clothing, just so its 100% polyester.
6257I think it would come out cheaper to check out Target or Walmart for pre-made 100% polyester for a baby. Also, think about maybe a Minky blanket. The child would still have that for years. Agree with jrob about two piece outfits fitting much longer. My younger son wore size 2 shorts for four summers, while his shirt size kept changing.
66505I'd make elastic waist pants and extra long tops like the tunics worn here. That way she won't outgrow the body length as quickly. Minky is 100% polyester and so are most fleece fabrics. Sorry, I don't have any patterns.

I've been looking in my patterns, but in the meantime contacted the member with the email. She said anything made out of 100% polyester. It didn't have to be a one piece. This lady said she is going to shop Monday or Tuesday, for something ready made. I told her I too, would see what I could come up with. Thanks for your ideas.

I went today and bought some fleece marked 100% polyester. As it is their winter now, I think I will make a 2 piece as you suggested, to get more wear. I am tempted to make the sleeves a tad longer than the 2 and the legs also. I told my DH they can roll them up a cuff if need be and maybe she will get 2 winters out of them.
