Rompers are a cute and comfy basic that every baby should have. They also make a great beginner sewing project!

This romper can be sewn without a traditional pattern. All you have to do is trace clothing you already own. The shape is relaxed, so fit isn’t a major issue. This romper has a single snap at the shoulder for dressing/undressing.

Supplies needed:

T-shirt and pants to use as a pattern

Cotton Jersey fabric- 1/2 yard (Walmart has a good selection of inexpensive fabric)

Contrasting jersey- for the binding

Fray check

Sew on snap
