I'm looking at sewing some merino tops for my daughter and can't find a pattern anywhere!
I'm after a pattern for an envelope-neck T-shirt (or envelope-neck anything that I can adapt to suit). You know the style that is most common with baby clothes these days. I'm almost ready to unpick one of her existing garments to draw up a pattern from :( Can anyone help? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi ya,
Im sure when i was looking at simplicty pattern book at spotlight the other week there was a pattern for a newborn set that had envelope necks, pretty sure it was a simplicty one. Can I ask where you got the merino fabric from? I have looked in Auckland and havent found any yet, wondering if its too hot up here still ------------- TTC since 06 with MFI IVF with ICSI 2007 BFN DI Sept 08=BFP DS 06/09 TTC #2 since June 2010 DI#2 Aug10=BFP MC@10weeks 2011= 10 rounds of DI 4 with clomid- all neg May 2012- IVF |

Butterick B5896 does and it's a handy pattern to have - hat, nappy cover, overalls, short and long sleeved tees, jacket, dress and onesie... not that I've actually managed to make anything from it yet
