Earlier this summer I sewed two calico rompers for Jemimah using McCall's 7107. Is is an easy and adorable pattern. I love the added detail of little pockets, so sweet!
I found the perfect little flower buttons in my collection to coordinate with the fabrics.
McCall's 7107 did not include a peter pan collar, so I used a collar from another baby pattern. I embroidered a rose bullion and leaves on the collars in colors to match the flowers in the fabric. I do enjoy seeing little embroidered collars on baby clothes!
Snaps make for easy diaper changes. In the future I would like to invest in a proper snap setting tool, as I found my hand sewn snaps don't stay snapped as securely as would like, especially when my little one is crawling.
Here is my little darling wearing her romper in our garden last month. I think she has enjoyed wearing her rompers
almost as much as I enjoyed sewing them, and seeing her wear them. : )
Oh my ~ these are just adorable! I just love the Peter Pan collars and the little flowers and lace edging. It brings back such memories of the many dresses I sewed for my girls when they were growing up. Little empire top dresses with Peter Pan collars are so cute. The fabrics are so dainty too. She's just precious! :-) You sew beautifully.

Your rompers take my breath away!! They are so pretty. I love everything about these....from the pretty fabric, to the peter pan collar with the sweet rose bullions to the cute pockets with a hint of lace. They are quite simply gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteYour rompers are absolutely beautiful and precious! I so love the added embroidery touches you gave them :) Please keep them for Jemimah... I am sure these will be heirlooms for your daughter one day :)
ReplyDeleteYour sewing is beautiful Sarah. I love the rompers, you just can't buy them in England anymore so have to make them or use vintage ones.

Sweet Sarah, these rompers are just too precious! And your little one is growing so quickly! What a sweetie pie :) Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely . I remember wearing these on my son & they do making changing time so much easier & more comfortable for babies to wear no gaps!! Love reading your blog Marie
ReplyDeleteADORABLE, oh and the rompers are cute.
ReplyDeleteThose are so sweet. :-) When my sister-in-law was wondering what to make for cool play clothes for their 10 year old daughter (they live in a very warm climate) I recommended some rompers. They do make nice, loose-fitting play clothes for active girls.
ReplyDeleteLoved these so much and have ~ featured ~ them today on the Art of Home-Making Mondays! :)
