I traced a romper that I have for the baby, but I definitely prefer using a pattern. I like the predictability. Having said that, these turned out peachy.
With the double layer of rib knit along the crotch the snaps were a little hard to attach and I'm worried that they may pop out if I tug to hard during diaper changes. (I haven't used snaps too often but I am eyeing some pretty cowboy pearl style snaps at Etsy for a future cowboy shirt for the baby). Overall I'm pleased as punch by these cuties.
(Of course the idea is inspired by Dana from MADE. She is so darn creative)
I am constantly amazed by your creations and your ability to sew, well, sew much, sew often! :)
ReplyDeletethese turned out awesome
ReplyDeleteFantastic!!! Love love love it!
ReplyDeleteWay cute, and what a fun idea!! Did you use repurposed ribbing, or did you buy new?
ReplyDeleteKimberly,I have problems sleeping at night so I stay up late sewing... or watching garbage on t.v. Katie, I used old new ribbing for the project. I always try to keep some basic rib knit on hand. Since it takes so little it's usually just scraps I find stuffed in some sewing drawer.
ReplyDeleteI agree...Dana is just too creative that it's unbearably awesome! :) I love your rompers. I've been wanting to upcycle some of my husbands T-shirts into clothes for my son. Thanks for the encouragement and bravery of doing this. It helps me get one step closer. :) I am right there with you in feeling more secure with a pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about these! They're gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I have a stack of college tees my hubs & I can't seem to let go of so this is the perfect solution!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to use my husbands old t-shirts! Thanks for sharing.
