The best patterns, imho, are from Kwiksew -- but there are other decent patterns around. If you'd like to continue to sew for him, the bargains are the Kwik Sew book series "Sewing for Baby", "Sewing for Toddlers" and "Sewing for Children", which have all the basic patterns, instructions on modifying the patterns into new designs, and sewing instructions. (If you buy a used copy, make sure you get one with the "master patterns" included, as they're often missing from used copies). Two bits: 1) Babies grow fast, and other than premies, there's probably no point in sewing clothes under 6 month size for babies. 2) New babies (especially first babies) tend to get tons of clothes, often to the point that moms wind up giving away outfits the baby has never worn before outgrowing. You might want to consider something more along the lines of a quilt, a hooded bath towel, a boo-boo bunny, a sunhat or similar sort of accessory instead of clothes. And I've never heard of a family that had too many receiving-type blankets or bibs big enough to actually catch something, especially with a colicky baby! http://www.kwiksew.com http://kwiksew.com/Catalog/Book_Baby.cfm http://kwiksew.com/Catalog/cat_thumbs.cfm?Cat=Children&Level=Babies&QL=Babies http://www.sewing.org/html/baby.php http://tipnut.com/free-boo-boo-bunny-pattern-instructions/ Very easy, just small.
