The Top Knot Romper -Pants and Shorts Versions

I had the opportunity to test pattern from Chalk and Notch, the Top Knot Romper. This pattern is seriously so well drafted and illustrated. I can tell Gabriella Longfish poured her heart into this pattern. It is very detailed and well explained, with easy step by step instructions and an interactive table of contents! If you decide to buy it, you will not be disappointed. 

The pattern comes with many variations including, short sleeve, long sleeve, shorts, pants and dress version (maxi and knee length), making it perfect for every season and any personal preference your little one might have. It comes in sizes 18-24 months to 12 years.

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

Kids Clothes Week -Vintage Inspired Romper

Guess what??? It's Kids Clothes Week again!
To be honest with you, I'm not ready for this week, but I will do what I can and see how far I can participate this week.

Yesterday I sewed a vintage inspired romper for my little girl. I've always been a fan of vintage clothing and little girl's rompers with ruffles. So I decided to try and make one like that.
A while back, I had bought a beautiful vintage sheet at the thrift store and saved it for when I had a chance to sew something pretty. Well, the day came, and I decided to use that pretty vintage sheet to make this romper.

As a base romper pattern, and modified the front into a bib-style and added ruffles around it. I also made the straps, according to my daughters measurements and decided to have the button closure in the front of the romper, instead of the back.

Here is how the romper turned out:
