Clothing Packages- what's inside?

We like to send doubles of things, so that parents can have one to put on their baby, and one to take home as a keepsake.  So far we haven't sent two gowns because they take more time and are more difficult to sew. For patterns, see http://thesmalltownsewers.blogspot.com/p/patterns.html

Large Gown Packages (30-35 weeks gestation)
We haven't made many of this size, but we are going to start since not everyone has access to preemie clothes, especially in small towns. I have patterns for Med. gowns and just found a pattern for diapers (I hope they fit, it just says "Preemie" but doesn't tell me the information for ages and weight that I'm used to) receiving blankets should be the right size, so we'll probably just put in a gown and diapers, mom and baby bracelets, and maybe a stuffed animal.

Med Gown Packages (24-29 weeks gestation):
2 18x18" blankets, 2 large Teeny tears diapers, 2 large no-sew hats, mom & baby bracelets, 1 small gown, and 1 small bear (4").

Small Gown Packages (18-23 weeks gestation):
2 12"x12" blankets, 2 small Teeny Tears diapers, 2 med. no-sew or crocheted hats, mom & baby bracelets, 1 mini gown and 1 tiny bear (2").


Large Bunting Packages (16-19 weeks gestation)
2 med. no-sew hats (3"), 1 large bunting, and 1 tiny bear (2").  We're working on getting a pin to put on the bunting that matches a bracelet for the mom.  Babies this small are usually too fragile for clothes or bracelets.




Small Bunting Packages (14-16 weeks gestation)
2 small no-sew hats (2"), 1 small bunting, and a tiny bear, we're also working on bracelets for the mom and matching pins/ribbons to attach to the bunting.

Early Loss Packages- (they go inside the miscarriage packets)
KEEPSAKE ONLY- a small no-sew hat (2") and a itty bitty felt diaper.  The diaper is waaay too thin for a baby, so these are only for parents to have in memory of their little one.

Specialty Clothing
We don't get a lot of these, but when we do they are wonderful!
