GS Preemie Isolette Shirts I - $12.00

Patterns also suitable for dolls.   Easy to Sew Kimono Sleeve Daygowns and bonnets for Preeemies Sizes 1lb, 2 1/2 lbs, 3-4lbs, 5-6 lbs.   Daygown Pattern Length.   Suitable fabrics like cashmere flannel, Swiss Flannel, and crushed cottons are ideal for the preemie daygown.  Traditional heirloom sewing fabrics like Imperial batiste and broadcloth are fine, and Swiss batiste work well for the dressier variations.  Consider the type of embellishment when choosing your fabric, using the heavier fabrics for machine embroidery and the sheer fabrics for hand embroidery and shadow work.  A cotton fabric or cotton blend fabric is suitable for the bonnet.  A fabric with some body will hold the shape of the bonnet better than a softer fabric.
