DIY -- Kids Romper/Jumpsuit -- McCall's M7151

DIY -Kid's Romper - McCall's M7151

View C

I have no idea why these pictures came out so fuzzy. It could be because it was a cloudy day, but I had to post this because it's too darn cute!! I don't normally make too much for my kids because honestly they don't like the patterns that are in the store. I guess they aren't "Cool Enough" compared to the apparel that is in the store. The other problem is my daughter DOES NOT like to wear dresses and there seems to be many "Girly Dresses" in the book that turns her off.

We were flipping through the pattern book at Joann Fabrics and she came across the romper in the McCall's pattern book. Now to her this was meant for her because the "Romper Style is In Mom". She picked out her own fabric as well.

We bought about 2 yards of a light weight jersey knit striped fabric. I know I took a picture of the bolt, but it must have been deleted from my phone at some point. This was some late night cutting and picture taking because of the shadows. Do you like my different weights?? I used cans of fruit, vegetables and soup!! LOL. Anything to keep a paper pattern down to the floor when you have a ceiling fan on full blast!

Honestly, this pattern was pretty easy to put together. I only got held up in the back attaching the straps. I had a little bit of a hard time understanding that part of the instructions, but I got the gist of it and may have improvised a little. If you have all the time in the world without any distractions (kids, lunch, phone, bathroom breaks, rest your eyes, etc) this should take about 2-3 hrs. That also means you have to have manageable fabric.

The Brother Lock 1034D Serger I purchased from Walmart a few months ago was the best addition to my Brother family. It works like a dream. It makes my apparel look and feel so much more professional when I am finished. If you are looking for an affordable serger that will get the job done, this is the machine for you!!!

This is the finished product from all views. I think it came out pretty well and she loves it!! It looks so cute on her. I wish I had made her more, but living on the East Coast....summer goes just as fast as it comes. Now to find cute Fall and Winter clothes that can compete with the retail store seen.

P.S. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram!!

Until Next Time

DIY -- Hello Kitty Scrub Top -- OOTD

DIY - Hello Kitty Scrub Top What I Wore Today Fabric from Joann Fabrics I'm not sure if you can buy this particular print online, but I did see it in a few of their retail stores. I used Wrights Extra Wide Double Fold Bias Tape accent the pockets and around the top. If you haven't read my About Me page yet, I state that I work full-time in the medical field. I don't have to wear scrubs all the time, but when I want to be comfortable it's my go to option!! I was tired of seeing the same scrub tops I was wearing that day on other co-workers in the hospital and smiling at each other because we didn't know what else to say. I felt like I was in People Magazine on the "Who Wore It Better" page. So I decided to start making my own tops!! This is the 2nd scrub top that I have ever made. The first one I made ended up being a complete bust (My Failure) and I never took a pic of it. I definitely learned for my mistakes (M...

Scrub - A - Dub Sunday!! DIY - Scrub Tops

DIY - Scrub Sunday!! I buckled down and add four more scrub tops to my work wardrobe. I did this really for two reasons. 1) I like how easy and fast it is for me at this moment, very calming and non-stressful sewing! 2) I enjoy the compliments I get from my co-worker for having original scrub tops! If you have not read my Fabric Haul 2 post, please check it out. There you will find a description of all the fabric I used for these scrub tops. Fabric Haul 2 My son decided that he wanted to draw all over my pocket template. To learn more about the Ideal Seam Guide that I use while sewing, check out my Tool I Can't Live Without Post It seemed easier for me to just cut all the fabric out and just sew everything at once. The only thing that was time consuming on these scrubs was changing the thread to match the color of the bias tape being used. The finished products!! So happy!! Can't wa...
