I bought a pattern to make Linus some pants, shirts, and a little fleece hoodie. The pattern is at Simplicity and you can look up pattern 5316. It turns out that the pattern pieces for pants are small enough that I can cut them from old pants of ours. Matthew's pants tend to wear out at the cuffs, which leaves plenty of good fabric to make pants for Linus. I started by cutting out pieces from my first pair of maternity pants. I tore out a knee when I fell in Dallas last November, but there is still enough good fabric to use. Right now my plan is to make two pairs of pants, a shirt from a knit shirt of mine that is stained (but still has plenty of good fabric for a baby shirt), and I bought striped fleece to make a little hoodie.
My browser continues to crash when I try to add photos. I use Safari and perhaps Blogger has changed in some way that it doesn't work with Safari. Hopefully they fix it.

I looked at the Simplicity pattern. It is so cute! How nice it will be for Linus to be all snuggled into his new clothes, made of Mommy and Daddy's clothes!
I think your picture problem is related to Blogger's interface with Safari on a Mac. I think using Mozilla Firefox instead of Safari on a Mac solves these problems. But I think it's something they're working on fixing too. (All this is secondhand from a Mac-blogger...)
How nice that you can make Linus clothes. He will look quite cute I am sure. I can't wait to see him on Friday. I will be at Sara's waiting for you guys, in case she is late from work, and I will have my little Lucy!
