Simplicity 3509

A friend of mine is having a baby girl in July so I thought it would be fun to make some little girl clothes. I had  fun making the little dress, panties and romper. I made the size xs 7-13 lbs.I was a little nervous about it turning out to large after sewing up a McCalls baby dress pattern last year and it came out larger than I expected.  I don't know about you but I have found this to be so with McCalls patterns. I don't think a baby dress needs to have 4ins of ease in the pattern

Right now I'm working on Vogue 8469

Just need to put in the zipper on and hem it. Here's a
