A long time favorite romper pattern

I have used this McCalls 6304 pattern for a long time. It used to be McCalls 2033.
It is a great romper pattern! It is very easy to make! Some comments I would make about this patter are:
  • when you cut the lining pieces for the top, do not use the tissue paper pattern to do it. Use the fabric pieces that you have already cut for the main parts of the garment. This way, you make sure that the lining shape matches the garment shape and it will be easy to match them up when sewing.
  • Use fusible interfacing!!! Don't mess with having to use sew-in interfacing (Ugh!!).
  • When when cutting the lining pieces, don't cut a curved bottom. Just cut a straight line across. This will make finishing the bottom edge of the lining easier.
Here are the rompers I have made over time with this great pattern.
