Here’s where to find the best baby christening gown patterns. There are a few patterns that are currently available and others that have been discontinued in our list. We also have some resources for free christening crochet patterns and knitted patterns that we have organized so that finding the right pattern for your project is quick and easy.
My reasoning behind listing of the out of print baby christening gown patterns as well as the new ones is that if you know the pattern number you might get lucky and find the pattern online, or at a garage sale or flea market. Using a vintage pattern has its advantages. The old gowns have an old fashioned, traditional look that you may prefer over modern styles. And as always there is the price factor to consider.
At the time of this article, the prices I have seen vintage baby christening gown patterns selling for are in the range of anywhere between $3 and less than $10. Often the packages have never been opened and the pattern pieces are in pristine condition never having been cut.
SIMPLICITY PATTERNS
As an example, the Simplicity christening gown patterns brand new are priced at
$12.95 for Creative Keepsakes Simplicity pattern number 3710 that includes patterns for a baby’s heirloom style christening Gowns, bonnets and includes instructions for smocking

BUTTERICK
Butterick isn’t currently offering christening gown sewing patterns as such. However, they have an infant gown pattern number B 4964 that is still in print at this time which is similar to the out of print Butterick pattern number 6609.
VOGUE
Little Vogue also has a pattern that you might want to consider. The Vogue pattern number for this christening gown sewing pattern is 2675 (retail price $15.95). The unique thing about this baby pattern is that it not only offers the dress, coat and bonnet but includes patterns for a pillow sham and blanket. With this pattern you could make an entire christening set to give as a gift.
