WHERE’S GIGI?!?!
I’ll start by saying I accidentally ordered extra fabric when I made Ginger’s bedding. This presented a problem. I didn’t want everything in her bedroom to be too matchy matchy, so the fairly expensive fabric was just sitting there, waiting to be used.
Then I was walking through Wal-Mart one day (I know I should be ashamed but I’m a poor mom, so, I’m not) and I saw this pattern. It was only $3! And I thought, “My baby needs herself a romper!” So I grabbed the pattern and I decided I would make her a little romp-fest in a spunky over-sized floral. Perfect for Spring. Then I remembered that leftover fabric.
But the thing with making clothing with leftover bedding fabric is…you match your bedding. Which is kind of ridiculous. However, I did it anyway AND LOOK HOW CUTE SHE LOOKS!! She was in such a bad mood while I did this photo shoot–tired and grumpy. I didn’t get one smile. But it kind of makes it better, because if she could talk she would totally be saying what you and I know she will both be saying for the rest of her life (see below video…) which is: “Mom, you are so embarrassing.”
Here’s the money shot
And this is what she gave me while I was trying to get a good shot of the buttons on the side of the romper. That’s my sweetheart.
She was a little happier when I put her on the OTHER side of the blanket. Maybe she secretly hates camo?
If only we could all look as good in a romper as Ginger. The pattern was actually SUPER easy and would work for a boy or girl. It also has variations for bloomers and a little dress. If you’re a beginner sewer this would be a good starter project for you. Here’s a link to the pattern!
Don’t worry, Ginger finally went down for a nap shortly after this. I want to make one in chambray next with wooden buttons. I cannot get enough chambray right now. I’ll keep you posted.

Okay. This just in. She looks EXACTLY like you. Have I mentioned that I am jealous of your skills?
Have you seen garden state? Because you totally channeled the scene where his shirt matches the walls. If that isn't awesome I don't know what is.
will you be my sewing mentor when i have babies? i might as well ask you now.
Your babes is adorable! so fashionable. And I love that you and her have matchy shoes!
i'm obsessed!
i'm obsessed!
joooooooooo wants one.
too cute! love the mocs too.
ummmm adorable!
Love, love, love!
oh my. I just found you and think you are stinkin' adorable. Never met you, but I laughed OUT LOUD (as did my 17mo) at your Chattanooga Choo-choo dance. I am so glad that there are others out there (although your dancing abilities are far superior to my own).
Are you doing the Beehive Bazaar?
mad or happy, she is just as cute. haha, she totally hates camo! i can see it in her eyes.
i was JUST about to make the same Garden State comment. 2 Thumbs up!
i didn't know rompers could be so cute! it's a little sad how kids fashion has become miniature more colorful versions of adult fashions now but i wish some kiddie stuff were still big. like overalls!
She is sooooo CUTE!
Looks like her Mom!
