This little romper-dress has turned out quite nicely (if I do say so myself).

I think that it should be perfect for summer!  The pattern is Simplicity 5115.  It’s made pretty much according to the pattern, other than the zip and neck binding.  I used an invisible zip (simply because I prefer them) and made bias binding from the same fabric for the neckline.  Rather than using the bias as a facing, I bound the neckline and hand-stitched the bias on the inside.  It should be a practical little outfit and matches those baby shoes I posted earlier.  Trust me, you’re going to get sick of seeing that fabric – I haven’t used it all up yet!  I was going to add some trim, but in the end anything that I put with it seemed too much – that fabric is busy enough on its own.  One of the great things about sewing baby clothes myself is that patterns seem to allow room for cloth nappies.  So many bought baby clothes are obviously cut for disposable nappies – since we mostly use cloth it’s nice to have clothes that fit them!

On another topic, I recently found the website to Simpsonize me – so here is mine!  Uncanny resemblance!
