DIY Baby Romper (with patterns & measurements!)

[@vmlagodny5591]

I have made this romper at least 5 times, every time it looks better and better. Thank you for a great tutorial. Would love to see more baby/toddler stuff.

You probably got a buttonhole attachment with your Brother machine. They're a pretty standard accessory. If I could come show you, I would! You just need to put the attachment on and try it out on a double or triple thickness of cotton fabric scrap. You will LOVE it! It's super easy today. Some of them use an actual button you slip in the back of the attachment to get the correct size buttonhole. It's been three years so maybe you don't need my encouragement anymore. One tip I would offer it to let it make the completed buttonhole twice before removing. Slip your seam ripper in between the rows of stitching and carefully rip the fabric being careful not to cut into the buttonhole stitches. Your rompers are adorable! Thank you for doing this.

Lifesaver!!! Today I accidentally cut into my dads new shirt… he was so sad because he has a lot of memories towards a shirt like this… they don’t sell it anymore and he searched for this a few months. Now he wanted to throw it away, but I kept it to sew something for my son/his grandchild. And this is so super cute! I think he will like it on him 😊🙏🏻

[@gotcathy]

Aw this would be an awesome repurpose for the shirt!

[@ErinVonBaron]

This is amazing! Currently 24 weeks pregnant and this is exactly the cutiepie pattern I was looking for. I love your style of instruction, too. Thanks for this!

[@gotcathy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@FrancescaBailey-r1f]

This video was brilliant, have made a gorgeous pink linen look thick fabric version for a winter baby and it's amazing. So chuffed. Most detailed work I've tried so far and couldn't have done it without this video. Thank you for sharing the pattern and sizes!! Legend. :) x

[@janas555]

Really enjoyed making this by following your instructions! Thank you!! I noticed that when I did the "stuffed turkey" step, I needed to put the skirt part wrong side up to make it work out correctly (minute 7:35). I am now making it a second time around, different fabric, yay 😀 I see why you made a few too 😊

[@j200512]

Thank you liked how you went all out with this pattern making - working in inches is great, helps facilitate calculations. Great work Cathy

[@MrsBerri]

I tried this 3x, I would love it .. If someone made the Pattern in word or PDF. Front pieces was always off. Help Please

[@emilyfergusson7145]

If you screen shot her pattern and print it you can draw it up with a ruler yourself on some A4 paper taped together. Worked perfect for me, I’ll definitely be using it again 😎

[@MrsBerri]

@@emilyfergusson7145 thank you

[@Bigredbanana91]

It’s the same pattern from oh me oh my sewing or it’s very similar. I love their work. Plus this video makes the step by step instructions so much easier.

[@MrsBerri]

@@Bigredbanana91 ok

[@awinegarden7455]

Just to clarify, is the pattern in cm or inches?

[@diyanagunathilake2166]

i love these! can you please do one for bigger sizes??

[@shironawallace5244]

thankyou this was great. i just made 1 for my nephew and matching ruffle ones for my twin nieces, can not wait for them all to be born so they can wear them.

I bought a simplicity pattern. Yours is much cuter and less complicated!💕💕👌🏽

[@gotcathy]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jamiepalacios5946]

Just watched the video a couple times… wish you would’ve done more tutorials you make it look so easy 😭

[@keandrarogers7309]

These come out so great ive done it twice. The video is super easy to follow hopefully i can make it a little bigger now 😅 wish someone had the measurements for 9-12 months

[@angelleanashawley1112]

I measured my son and needed to add approximately 4 inches in length and added about 2.5 inches in everywhere else

[@kevonskeete5129]

Fantastic video. I just used the pattern and directions and it looks great. Thank you so much.

[@sheenabruet-patel5856]

Hi Cathy, do you have any easy way to upsize the pattern to a 6-9 size?

[@sigridriefkohl-]

Tku! I refuse to pay for a pattern. I have 2 for boys and a dress for a girl so ended up mixing and matching pieces from 3 different patterns. I’m still stuck at the crotch since it’s lined front and back but your video helped. Ready to go finish this!

[@zein9557]

hii i’m a beginner and this tutorial actually seemed simple and easy to understand thank you!! i love your vibe lol

[@sherryvesely6671]

Your video was a lifesaver explaining how to put the romper together. I bought a pattern online and the instructions were awful. Thank you so much 😀

[@gotcathy]

Thanks, I'm glad I was able to make it clear for you!

[@annmariereid5136]

This is so cute! I screenshot the pattern and hopefully can try and size up to 12 months. Since this video, have you made a PDF possibly? :)

[@emilyfergusson7145]

I made the one without ruffles for my little boy who’s due soon. I’ve never been more proud of something I’ve made 🥹 thank you so much for the great instructions. The only thing I did different was tuck the front nappy snaps underneath so you can’t they the sew lines for them 🥰🥰

[@gotcathy]

glad you were able to make it!

[@hendrixobi6136]

Pls how did u get the pattern

[@meganlotz8469]

These rompers are super cute, I'm excited to make one too. ❤ thank you for the amazing video and explains so well

The rompers are adorable, and as a beginner your instructions were easy to follow. Thank you!

This was WONDERFULLY done. You are an amazing person!

[@elisematzke8939]

How many inches would you take off for 0-3 months? I would absolutely love to give it a try

[@tammydouglas1012]

They are all lovely! Can’t decide… all equally wonderful!🦋

[@terezademeter6384]

I love your humour ! I had a smile on my face the whole time haha

As a beginner sewer (making plushies for my daughter) I have been absolutely terrified to try clothes. But this tutorial is PERFECT! The terminology is great because I actually understand what you're saying and what you mean. 😆 I cannot thank you enough! Also, you're hilarious! Haha subscribed!

[@gotcathy]

Glad I could help making sewing clothes a little less intimidating, it's so much fun!

[@cathyjackson7738]

Is the pattern available?

Pls how did u achieve this, because I can't still achieve the pattern drafting even when I screenshot it, I find it difficult

[@franmanley5157]

Great video! Are the measurements by inch please? Thanks

[@BarStarSchool]

Thank you for this video! It's my first outfit that I have ever sewed and the directions were perfect. I wish I could post photos because I'm so proud of it. :)

[@Viciossinmiedo]

Thank you for this video ! It’s very helpful ❤ I know this is a big ask but can you sew a no snap no zipper onesie preferably that opens in the front

[@elisemenne8758]

THANKS!! Your rompers are but beautiful!!! I am just so lazy to make the pattern!!!!!

[@gourmetwithavi6484]

Such a lovely gesture for putting the measurements in the video❤, very true, too many videos without any measurements. Thank you 🙏

[@khaXV]

Thank you!! Just made one and it was excellent for a beginner sewer like me!

[@lenigray]

I use my copy machine to copy smaller pieces. The skirts are pretty standard squares but it needed copy in sections after use the original to join. I enjoyed your makingbofbtge outfit

Hi Cathy I really like your video it is funny and sufficiently detailed, but I would like to know something more about the pattern on image 2 and 3 the 19 "and 14" is for the entire length of the right line ?

[@gotcathy]

Yes, that's correct, thanks for asking!

Hi Cathy lu, really love your pattern, it's so adorable, on the pattern you drafted, there are solid lines and broken lines, where it is solid, does that mean it is the finished length or just that specific line that's highlighted? Thanks, I don't know if my question makes sense lol

[@gotcathy]

the broken lines indicate the specific line, because some of the cuts are at an angle. i hope that helps!
