Elisabeth from Growing Home shares a tutorial for making a reversible John John romper. This is such a classic look for little boys! And because it’s reversible, it’s two garments in one. She uses a printed fabric on one side, and a solid on the other. The solid side gets a cute applique like the little sailboat shown here. Get the tutorial.

Elisabeth, I’m trying to use your tutorial, but my virus protection software keeps telling me your website has a virus. Just thought you would want to know.
I can’t get to the tutorial. It says I need to be invited. Any other way to access it?
Thanks!
Jennifer
Hi, I’m trying to view your pattern and it isn’t letting me.
Hi, I need to get invited to access the tutorial.
I’m having trouble accessing the tutorial too. Help please!
I used to be able to view your blog (and loved it!) but now I can’t view it. Can you invite me to the blog? Thanks!
The site with tutorial is by invitationonly. Any suggestions?
This is an older post and the blog has since moved to invitation only. Here’s another John John romper you might try: http://sewing.craftgossip.com/free-pattern-baby-boy-romper-or-jon-jons/2015/04/18/ It’s not meant to be reversible but it should be easy enough to make it reversible. –Anne
