Spring/Summer Romper Tutorial

hi everyone! i am so sorry if you are confused at any parts! just write a comment below if you have any questions! i had to fast forward so many parts to keep it under 15 minutes! this tutorial was very long to do and longer to edit! hope you guys still enjoy it!
please subscribe so i can make longer videos and not have to speed up everything so its hard to understand!

@beautyinthefacade pleats are just folds you make in the fabric to give it a different look or to just make the length of the fabric shorter ;) you basically just fold over the fabric like you were making a paper fan, but just make the folds going in the same way. there are a variety of pleats you can do though. i think i wanna do a video now on the different ways you can use a pleat ;) hoped this helped you!

[@coolirpa]

@new2makeup123 no not to the whole piece. just at the bottom. the whole piece should match with the front shorts piece, only extend the bottom :) so the part i am cutting at 01:28, it does not match up with the front shorts piece, but the rest of the curve should match up. haha sorry its confusing but hope this makes more sense! :)

[@PoulineGernes]

the fitting of the shorts are amazing! really cuteee

[@XxStarsatHeartxX]

This romper is so adorable! Another that I will definitely make lol.

[@laureenkloeg]

Heya, I've made this whole romper with my mom. It's the first clothes i ever made and it turned out BEAUTIFUL! I love it, thanks for your video it helped me so much :D I love the design and i defenitly gonna wear it much on my holiday this summer :D Thanks again! xx

[@StudioVegan]

amazing job weather it was long or not just taking us through those step gosh that amazing work by a real artist

[@coolirpa]

@Swengs i used a rotary cutter and cutting board :) and i used jersey knit for the top half :)

[@watermelaninenergy]

creative, self sufficient people who enjoy saving money & wearing beautiful things that they've created with their own hands.

[@DarkConstruction]

FInally the type of shorts tutorial I was looking for!

[@DanielaTxs]

OMG! great HI I love your video, in particular, that know how to work correctly and cutting strokes, congratulations you won a follower to your channel

[@biba3025]

as someone who sew clothes for a very long time, u made this look so complicated for a people who dont have same ability of making clothes so easly!

[@xrarelightx]

+biba 24 Her newer videos are a lot shorter and easier to understand.

[@christinamena1501]

i made my own shorts ,thanks for this video your shorts came out so cute.

[@coolirpa]

@new2makeup123 woo! thats good to hear :) 1. yes jersey knit for both. as long as the fabric is stretchy and feels comfortable to you then it should be good! :) 2. adding 1 inch allows room for your butt and makes the short fit nicer. so when you make the back shorts, the curve should be extended on the bottom. if you have shorts pattern, it should already come like that already, but if you are tracing then you need to add the the extra length yourself :) hope this helped!!! :D

[@hadjilloyd9704]

Your are a saint for sharing your knowledge. Thank you for this wonderful video!

[@new2makeup123]

I have to say, I have watched at least a dozen romper tutorials and this is by far the best and most stylish/flattering! I can't wait to make one but I have a few questions: 1. what type of fabric are you using? I'm assuming a jersey/stretch but not sure for the shorts 2. what do you mean by adding one inch to the crotch length of the back piece? (what is the difference between the front and back pieces?) Thanks so much for this great tutorial! wouldn't have thought of the pleats ;)

[@yralda29]

Oh thank god I just sent a comment asking for a romper tutorial but you already have it this is great am going to learn fantastic thanks for all the good tips ;-)

[@XxBloodyWenchxX]

wow, you´re great! i´d have to rethink every step so often that it would easily take me a year to finish this... how did you learn to be so efficient? have you been sewing for a long time or do you plan every step in the beginning, so you just have to execute them in the second phase? because you certainly seem to know what you´re doing =D i really wanna make some highwaisted shorts now. and naturally i´ll follow your future vids ;D thanks for the share!

[@GeekGirlLive]

How do people not like the music? It's wicked and so unique!

[@habibahsabri558]

the pizza-cutter-like thing is freakin awesom!!

[@nam_jesus640]

It’s a rotary cutter but your name is better

[@queenfarahksa]

You make me feel it was easy,,,i know its not!!!! I wish i was like your talent!!!

[@nonniesview]

[@coolirpa]

@beautybylexiee no i didnt mention it sorry! i should do that next time, thanks! and 1 yard for both top and bottom should be enough ;)

[@femiaac3105]

[@mimerssss]

What kind of fabric material did you use? Because you're saying it's strechy...? Thanks so much and yours turned out so cute!

[@Sofia-vl6yn]

Hi April. i'm wondering what's that cutting tool you use? Love your tutorials btw.

[@kindacochea]

That music girl !! Having an advil right now!

[@montessacde]

Great, as always. But, what happened to the background music? It's not halloween yet.

[@coolirpa]

@taknouttheBROWNIESxD yayyy!!! im so glad this helped you! :D thanks, yeah florals are really trendy :P hope you subscribe!

[@phillyhippie]

[@georgettesledge6079]

This TUTORIAL was well put together, I love it an will share. Looking forward to seeing more from you👍👍👍👍👍

[@1998busybee]

it depends what fabric you use but you could always turn the bottom over and sew that

[@emojki2008]

can you do a video on only have to do high waisted vintage shorts with pockets and button closure, in case if the fabric is not stretchy, would really appreciate it.

[@Naly008]

soo cute! so! are you going to pursue a fashion career ^_^ ! please do a goals and dreams video :D!

[@coolirpa]

@GenevaFelton my fashion teacher had it in her class, and i took it ;P sorry lol. i suggest, walmart, joanns, any fabric store, or online.

[@jazminmartinez4009]

can you do a begginer video of fashoion please cause i am beginner and i am not the only one who is doing this as a beginner. i love your video. but can u make a beginner

[@MsKimberlified]

You. Are. Brilliant. What material didyu use for both? Is it the same material?

[@LilPenguinMusic]

Could you do a tutorial on just cute shorts? Or is it alright if I just do what you did here without the top?

[@coolirpa]

@weetolgirl lol which one?

[@bevmcmullen8758]

Loved the video, hated the music. Also could you explain the way the top is joined into the waistband you created. It looks awesome.

[@CrystalCummings1985]

Can you do an updated version of this look. I really want to try it but it's kind of hard to follow

[@ilikecookiessaywhat]

The music is relaxing :)

[@amacardo]

ohhhh this is lovely! thank you so much!

[@sterlingdesousa3486]

coolirpa gracias, ya sabia hacerlo pero no tenia un diseño en mente tu me inspiraste saludos desde Venezuela

[@KeriMuthaFckinChham1]

I love Your ROMPER!!! Very talented. (:

[@joannaudette1114]

I have been looking for a tut on making a romper & your are great, BUT, please slow down and talk us through the steps. Also, it would be helpful to have an estimated amount of material being used and is the material a knit.

[@vanessabumbe9109]

I love it I want to make thee exact one omg so cute thanks for the video

[@maddiemouse2011]

I love the floral fabric! Where did u get it?

[@Ramakida]

I wonder how easy you can work with your cutter. I also have one, but I always have to work with my scissor at some parts that weren't cut.

[@BAZAARGRL]

so cute love it...tks for the tutorial it's awesome can't wait to make it :)

[@candicegreen5672]

Are both fabrics knit or are the shorts woven? Very cute!

[@coolirpa]

omg please send a pic because i'd love to see how it turned out! :D

[@VioletMoonBlood]

wow ur really talented :)

[@olianka113]

It's amazing! You're amazing!

[@d011p4rtz]

these are really cute!!! ^.^ I'll have to try this sometime=3 what is the name of the second song/who is it by? :3

[@jaxlynch8114]

Do you think you'll ever make a newer video? Like your previous ones that are more detail. I'm just wondering, I get lost a little bit but after debating I've even just going with it. lol So far so good we shall see though. Your videos are amazing :)

[@chingsmusic6159]

amazing tutorial but the BG music is creepy..

[@TrulyJazzy]

AF 😩

[@coolirpa]

@GotMoozik nicki minaj - moment for life

[@new2makeup123]

@coolirpa But do I add the one inch to the whole piece or do I lengthen/shorten the curve by one inch?

[@iloveyou10802ify]

Beautiful^^ you should change the music tho :P

[@emojki2008]

could you make draft, mold for the pockets for us on the pc, like some people do for brims for hats, that would really help, thank you

[@uniquechick44]

Not sure what they're called. But you should do a diy on the flowy shorts in trend right now. Like the ones with the Pom Pom

[@CookieGodable]

i have a quick question...what type of material are the shorts made of? thanks :)

[@EllyLove001]

lol i tried it and i was off by a little on my shorts heheh but thanks it helped alot:)

[@lilmomma1787]

what type of fabric did you use it seems much softer than the fabric I have.

[@SkyCrescentSakura]

@sewandsew61 - the song was rocketeer by Far East Movement

[@aurelievandevyver5516]

very good tutorial!

[@kunzyy01]

OMG! I love it! Thank you so much! :D

[@burntbitz]

Wouldn't it be better to just go out and buy the romper? The cost of all the material you have to buy to make this is more than going out to a store and buying the actual thing! But it was adoraaabble. Didn't understand most parts though?

[@Vxnom16]

hi can you please tell me where can i buy that mat and rottery cutter thank you

[@opentheresidor]

thats takes real skill! i would make one but i would be so frustrated.. :)

[@vanessaXdiane]

probably not. it's about the same price or even less than a store bought romper. where i get my fabric, you can get jersey knit for 3.99-5.99 a yard.

[@xxTmeBombxx]

Oh how I wish I had the figure for rompers

[@ВикторияЦветкова-д9ь]

thanks for this great idea!

[@dollfacemegzz]

this was awesome great and splendid!!! i really enjoyed it but the music O.o .....

[@SkyCrescentSakura]

do I get the materials at a craft store ...what was the yellow thing tht u cut with tht made it cut soo evenly ..wht is tht tool called ?

[@chinkyasiansmile1027]

I'm never gonna mke it, but I like watching and wish I would.. xD

[@stephpops1]

where did you get the pocket stencil from?? :) xx

[@1hotfireball1]

your great i wish i could design too :(

[@skylanser8156]

wait how many yards of fabric u need? it looks like one but im not completly sure

[@AislingMar]

Where can you buy a rotary cutter? I checked at micheals, and they didn't have it :P

[@yayablue101]

How many inches would you suggest adding to the top half? 2 or 3 maybe?

[@JemilahAli]

what type of fabric did u use for the shorts

[@TheAshleyChante]

What kind of fabric are you using for the shorts & top?

[@beautyinthefacade]

erm, i was watching this tutorial, and i was still trying to figure out what are pleats? x)

[@kathynguyen608]

Hey April, what's the name of the pocket you use in this video ? Are those slash pockets but altered so the curve is pronounced ?

[@lollastarbratz]

Who do you think is the one of spends all their time making the clothes you where from shops?

[@keziahlewin6532]

Are you left handed? x

[@AmazingWomensWorld]

liked it

[@Huwanna]

What's that board you're using while making patterns?

[@alyssabragg8189]

This was a 14 minute video, edited and sped up! Wonder how long it actually took her to make it?

[@lachula307]

Its called a rotary cutter... They have them at walmart

[@joycarey9536]

how much fabric did you begin with for each section?
