Children's Bloomers and Dresses

So, now I am interested in the sewing part, but only because I came across the CUTEST picture of a pillowcase dress.

So I went searching for free patterns and found some. I am looking specifically for t-shirt dress and pillowcase dress (as well as similar ones). I want easy to make (inexpensive) dresses for my girls. With the prices at thrift stores getting higher and higher (as well as people charging WAY too much at garage sales for used dresses), I am thinking of making my own. I have not found a pattern for the t-shirt dress yet. Anyone have any other free patterns?

Some FREE patterns for pillowcase dress links:

Turns out that Martha Stewart has a really cute pattern in her Spring Kids issue (2001??). A lot of people have been trying to get a copy of this magazine through ebay just for this pattern alone.

I also came across this one for bloomers:

Anyways, I hope you are able to use these and I look forward to seeing what you have to share! Feel free to share more bloomer patterns (or even NIGHTGOWN patterns - I would love to have some of those too).
