As the grandmother (Baba) of a miscarried baby, I know the pain and heartache that my son and his wife went through with us at the time. There was no mention of an angel gown I still don’t know if it was a boy or girl that they lost. I know we’ll find out when we meet our little angel baby in heaven one day.
I’m hoping that my ministry will help grieving parents in some small way during their time of great loss by providing beautiful Angel Gowns, Cradles, and other Accessories for their babies taken from them before they even got to smile at each other.
When I initially felt the call to start this ministry, I called out to Mary, the Blessed Mother of God to send me an army and all the materials needed if this was something she wanted me to do for Jesus’s little babies and their parents. Since then, women, men and children world-wide are answering her call to this ministry through the Blessed Mother to either help me here or start an angel gown ministry in their own towns.
My prayer is that this ministry of Angel Gowns spreads through every City and Town of every Nation so that it touches every grieving parent who loses a baby.
God bless all who answer the call to serve in this army of volunteers, whether it be those who donate to it or work it. We are all called to be part of this in one way or another. Remember, it’s a baby, not a fetus, no matter how small and deserves all the respect of any person in the burial process.

LEARN HOW TO MAKE ANGEL GOWNS AND START YOUR OWN MINISTRY. YOUTUBE TUTORIAL ON ANGEL GOWN CONSTRUCTION Use this link and follow the instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFiI-bgljGk&t=501s Tag me (Anita Schatz) & notify me by Messenger if you start a new ministry with the link to your Angel Gown Ministry Page. I will help you get started by posting your new ministry on my Angel Gowns by Baba page so that people can send wedding gowns to you.
Watch my 15 min+ tutorial above that you can stop & rewind until you get it. The one part you will want to rewind to until you get it right is at 5:23. It’s the trickiest part. Keep that time in mind to help you to rewind to the exact spot again, using 1/4 inch seams throughout the entire gown. Be sure to practice with scrap materials before using good fabric and use these patterns. Make sure when printing out the 7 Pine Patterns to get the 2” square exactly that size so the patterns are the correct sizes. You may need to go to your printer settings to adjust it before printing them out, then make 4 copies of the printout. (THESE PATTERNS and the ANGEL GOWNS YOU MAKE ARE TO BE OFFERED FOR FREE AND SHOULD NEVER BE SOLD. )
