What was your inspiration?
When I donated some garments to my daughter's local hospital the Special Care Nursery Manager asked me if I could make burial garments as parents are usually too upset at the time. I concurred having had multiple miscarriages myself. I then starting doing some research, downloaded lots of free patterns, got lots of help from another forum I belong to and progressed from there.
I might add that I make an extra bootee with each project so that the parents can have a keepsake. I added a small bow with a button that had little pink roses on it on each bootee, the hat and the front of the dress. I also lined the shell skirt with some pale pinbk t-shirting so that the little body is not seen through the gown.
