The Alley Cat Romper Tester Blog Tour and Giveaway

Guess what?! I'm doing more testing, and this time it's a super cool and different pattern. This pattern is called "The Alley Cat Romper" and it's from Lil Luxe Collection (affiliate link).

The Lil Luxe Collection is  from a new and talented designer named Jessica Bustos. I have written about this talented designer on my previous post. You can also go here if you want to know more about this new pattern company. 

 I'm in love with this new pattern, because its design is super trendy and comfortable! My daughter also likes this romper and is so comfortable in it, that she doesn't want to take it off all day and I pretty much have to hide it so that I can wash it. He he!

This romper is made of medium weight stretch knit fabric, which is super comfortable to  wear.

This is a PDF pattern and comes in sizes 18mo - 8 years. It features a drop crotch seam, an overall baggy look on the pants and a more fitted look on the bodice and the ankle cuffs.

This romper was also really fast to sew and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. This project is perfect for a confident beginner and preferably someone who has sewn with knit fabric before. But even if you have never sewn knit fabric before, this pattern walks you through everything you need, in order for you project to be successful!

Here is the back of the romper. As you can see, it has a beautiful back neckline which every little girl will love.

Here are more pictures of the romper in action! As you can see, my daughter is really happy with the romper :D

KCW-Summer Challenge Day 2- Vintage Style Jumper

So far it has been very challenging to finish sewing and taking pictures of the garment on time, but I'm finally done with the outfit for day 2.

This time I made a vintage style jumper for my little girl. I used the Simplicity pattern #2167  called "Child's Dresses and Hanger Cover".  I used a vintage table runner, I bought a thrift store a long time ago. I just fell in love with the embroidery on this table runner and I thought that it would look really cute in a girl's dress.

I really like the end result. I also added a white eyelet underskirt to give it more body to the skirt. On the bodice I used a Michael Miller fabric from the collection called "Children at play" and I used a couple of vintage buttons from my collection.
