Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Chris from Pickup Some Creativity shares a free pattern and tutorial on her blog for the Summertime Romper that appeared in the So You Think You’re Crafty competition recently. The pattern is available in size for 18-24 months and 2T-3T. I love this in the lightweight plaid shirtings she used in her examples! There are tons of ways you can embellish them, from cute pockets and appliques to ruffles and frills for the girls. Get the free pattern and tutorial.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
I can’t seem to download the pattern for your romper. Can you help me.
Thanks, Cathy
I was able to download the pattern without difficulty. You may want to contact Chris at Pickup Some Creativity to see if she has any advice. –Anne
