I have a newneice arriving today! She is 6 weeks early and est. about 4lbs. I havebeen looking online for some premie or newborn patterns to sew for her.I've got some of the cutest fabric and thought I had several weeksleft!! I have found a few and was wondering if anyone here sews or knewany good sites for patterns.

My favorite is Bev's Country Cottage - lots of freebie baby patterns (clothes, crib sheets, Project Linus, etc.)

There is a Mormon site I found when looking for free pillowcasepatterns. Mormon Chic//Crafty Chic has a lot of free babypatterns. The directions for these projects are very orderlyand clear which makes most projects a breeze.

The Project Linus web site has patterns and links for making things for preemies and fragile newborns.

sewing.about.com has loads of patterns.

I did make the preemie dress pattern that Ioriginally found. It came out really cute. Now I'm working on a hat,which I made the pattern for out of a hat my niece has. I'm stilllearning and I don't know how to use half of the functions on my sewingmachine, but I managed to do button holes! Yay for me.

I've never tried cross stitch. How is your tiger coming along?
