Tutorial: Reversible John John Romper

May 11, 2011 by Anne Weaver 10 Comments

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.

Thanks!

  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
