Have you seen the adorable versions of the Sewing for Boys patterns that are popping up all around the Interwebs? We have, and we’re smitten! We wanted to take a moment to spotlight some of these patterns so you won’t miss out on all the cuteness!
“R is for Romper” is a pattern written for babies and toddlers; this raw-edged romper is an intermediate level pattern and it includes smooth seams for baby’s sensitive skin. The book includes a snapped bottom so you can change diapers with ease, which is a big benefit for the moms out there who will dress their kiddos in this adorable outfit!
The pattern details:
- Sizes: 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-18 months
- Fabric requirements: 1/2 yard to 2/3 yard
- Recommended fabrics: medium-weight knits with at least 30% stretch such as cotton jersey, bamboo rayon, rib cotton knit or French terry.
- To sew this pattern you will also need a ball point needle, lightweight fusible or knit interfacing, and 8 sets of poly-resin snaps.
