Jack & Jill Burial Gown

Full of simple dignity .........

Jack & Jill  Angel Baby Burial Gown

I wanted to write a pattern for a simple and sweet burial gown that would be suitable for boys too - 

most of the patterns I found looked quite feminine. 

So sad that these are needed - but I really hope this will bring comfort to a family at such a sad time in their lives.
