Football season is here!!!!!!

Well, who says women can't enjoy football season and be cute at the same time? Here is a romper (although it looks like a dress in the first picture) I have made for a sweet little girl in my life named Holland. She and Isabelle are only 2 weeks apart. This romper pattern is fully lined which is wonderful for the cooler months that go along with football season.

This is the first time I have tweaked this pattern for a girl and I think it came out really cute (other than the fact that it is Redskins material, of course!)! The ribbon and ruffles at the bottom were a challenge, but they were fun to figure out. The hardest part was figuring out how to hide the top of the ruffles inside the romper. I can't wait to see if Holland and her mom like it!

Are you wondering what it would look like on a little boy? Well, the ruffles would be gone, of course!! Here is Gabe's NC State romper (please excuse the stains on the neck area... boys sure are messy!!).
Want to see all of the rompers I have made with this pattern? Here you go!!

Boy's fully lined romper

This was one of the first patterns I tackled because of the name of the website (YouCanMakeThis.com). It sounded easy enough!! And it was easy!! I really like this pattern because the romper is completely lined instead of just having a trunk-lining. Because of the complete lining, it is a really sturdy pattern and it keeps my son warmer than most rompers do which is great since he is usually prone to being cold.

These are the first two matching outfits I made for Isabelle and Gabe. I have gotten so much better in my technique since then but they hold a special place in my heart.

The second time I made this outfit was as a NC State outfit. This picture of Gabe is not the best one I have in this outfit but I am working on taking a better one. This outfit is what I recommend to people to have made during the winter months since it is fully lined.


The third time I made this outfit, it was part of a matching set for Isabelle, Gabe and their cousins at a family reunion. They all looked so adorable in the same fabric but in different patterns! What do you think?

It has been fun to learn on this pattern and get better and better each time I make it. I have not made it with snaps yet but plan on doing that soon!

I recently made this pattern for a little girl whose mom loves the Washington Redskins. I think it is so cute! Have a look and let me know what you think!

Romper, Burp Cloth, and Shoes

I made this romper, burp cloth, and shoes for my friend Rockie's new baby, Simon. What's really fun is that I got the pattern for these shoes from Rockie's craft site.

I made this beach-themed burp cloth and matching shoes for a sweet friend who wound up having her daughter on Gabe's birthday!! How fun!
