Hey everyone! Thanks so much for the suggestions!

I found 2 patterns at Walmart for about $8 each. One is an XS pattern that's made to be 8" long (but probably fits Zoe perfect otherwise) and EXACTLY the kind of PJs I wanted for her. (This pattern Simplicity 4325) Then I got the pattern everyone suggested (Simplicity 3939), that's a bit too big, and not exactly the design I'd wanted.

I figured I'd take them home, get a basic idea and return one of the two patterns. Well first I tried making the XS PJs and then figuring out how to make them bigger. (I'm not sure if I'll even be able to do that, but that's besides the fact.) I can't even figure out the FIRST STEP! Ugh!!!

I don't think this is the right place but since I'm not sure where the right place is I'll ask my next question. What are your thoughts on how I should approach this? I need to figure out the steps, first of all, and then how to lengthen the pattern. Should I just do my best and hand-draw it at the desired size? Or should I photocopy it and enlarge it that way? Ideas or anyone that might be of some help in me making these stupid PJs?
