To sew or not to sew...that is the question

I have had 2 winter babies, both born in the winter, both blessed in the winter. Both boys had very cute blessing outfits, Tanner's was a knitted sweat suit that my mother-in-law made, and Gavin's was also knitted...however I found it at Babiesrus :)


I am having an extremely hard time finding a blessing outfit I like for this baby. I am very picky when it comes to store bought blessing outfits for boys. Some are a little to girly for me, some are way to shiny (I told you that I was picky) and the rest just don't fit my taste. It is also harder for me because we will be blessing him in June, so I need a light airy outfit.
If I had my way this babies blessing outfit would be vintage romper looking in linen. Here is a picture I found that is exactly what I want but it isn't linen.

I am seriously thinking about making it. I think I could do it with a little help from some friends in my ward. All I need now is the pattern. Oh, but guess what? I can't find one! OK, I know that all I am doing is whining, but after 2 weeks on bedrest and who knows how much longer to go...that's all I can think of to do :)
Any ideas?

I had a cute linen blessing outfit for Alex. Only problem was I bought it before he was born, having no idea he would be born so early and be so small when he was blessed! I was so sad!

OH I know what you mean about the shiney girl-like blessing outfits for boys. Bleh. I have your brother's little outfit from when he was blessed, but now I just need a baby boy to put it on! :D I'll keep an eye out for you if I see anything like what you're looking for though!!! :D
