Baby Overall

So, once you've found a pattern that you're happy with, that you've got the hang of sewing, that fits pretty well and lends itself to all kinds of fun decoration, what's the next logical step?

Change it, of course!

Because happy though I am with the two buttoned rompers, in the depths of my baby-clothes-I-was-given-by-lovely-people box, I found something even better: a romper with buttoned legs and sleeves!

Now I know you're probably bouncing in your chair, squealing with excitement over this game changing discovery, so I won't keep you in suspense for much longer. I didn't want to cut this one up, so I did my best to reverse-engineer it into a sewing pattern, and the result:

I like it. A lot. If it handles well in daily use, this may actually become my go-to baby garment. The pattern still needs some fine tuning, but luckily I have accumulated roughly a bajillion different baby compatible fabrics to experiment with.

And as an aside, will you look at these stars?

Aren't they delightfully pointy? (In some places at least...) I experimented with reducing the stitch width around the points, and I'm quite happy with the result.

So in conclusion: Success!
Pattern: My own
Fabric: Sweat (buttinette)
Buttons: Kam Snaps (snaply Nähkram)
