I'm thinking I've tested and discarded dozens of baby clothes patterns. 'Ease' is good if you're a grown up and just want something comfortable. Not so good if you only weigh 8 pounds and the pattern industry assumes that your nightgown or shirt needs to fit until you begin lst grade. A friend brought me a luscious yard of knit fabric dotted with dump trucks and airplanes. I discovered an untried Kwik Sew 3090 in my stash of knits and gave it a try. Wonderful. No matching rib knit required, no buttons or snaps; just one of those 'back shoulders opens over front shoulders' for an easy slip on. The notches, instructions, size and 'walk' are perfect. It just sailed together. I'm thinking it's possible to make a nightgown for about $2. And a little love, of course. Polly
