Flannel fun

These rompers are from my favorite romper/shortie/longall pattern (McCalls 6304).  I won't go into details about the pattern since I have done that before in a previous post.  All I will say about the pattern is that it is a SOLID romper pattern that I would recommend to anyone, even a beginner sewer.

The flannel fabric here is so soft and warm and makes me want to snuggle with my little man Gabe even more than I already do! 

 I had so much fun with the applique on these two rompers.  Aren't they cute?

I made this NY Giants romper for the Super Bowl this year.  Go Blue!

Before I made these three flannel rompers, I made this fish one last week:

Wild about fish

My son rarely gets excited about fabric.  He gets dragged to the fabric store and then has to watch as I pick out fun fabric for little girls.   He spends most of the time trying to touch every single fabric in the store.  Recently, we were in the fabric store and Gabe started squealing and saying, "Momma, I love this!"  Well, I whipped my head around who had mimicked Gabe's little voice perfectly.  Lo, it was Gabe with this sweet smile on his face touching this fish-themed flannel.  This mommy heart melted and I bought some on the spot (woops - impulse buy!).

Gabe hammin' it up for the camera

I got to work later that night and knocked this McCalls' romper out pretty quickly.  It does not have pockets because I ran out of fabric but they can always be added later (and they will be since all little boys - especially mine - love pockets to hide their treasures in).  

This McCall's pattern is really easy 

and I have used it many many many times before for both shortalls and longalls.  I encourage you to use it if you are looking for a solid romper pattern.
