Free pattern: Penny Playsuit for toddlers

Shauna from Shwin & Shwin shares a free pattern for her Penny Playsuit for little girls. Oh, how I am loving this! It has long pants gathered to a curved bodice, giving room for a baby belly and ease of movement. You can make it from knits or wovens, or a combination of the two. Instead of snaps at the crotch, it has a zipper down the back, which is easier to manage on a wriggly toddler. Her free pattern comes in a size 12-18 months, though the length is probably more like a 2T.
