Last year I started pining for one of those toddler ruffle rompers. At a price of $40 an outfit, I can do this! Simple. After scoring the fabric at a heavily discounted price the trendy ruffle romper was going to be made. My toddler would be trendy, thanks to me :) After 2 failed attempts to sew this ruffle slippery fabric, I wadded it up and declared internally the rompers were too trendy, *every* toddler is wearing them and being overly posed in photo shoots. We don't want to be followers that way.....A few weeks ago I sorted out my fabric stash (after discovering our giant dog has been using my fabric stash as his make shift bed) and stumbled across all this ruffly fabric. Late last night, I resolved, I will tackle this and it will be successful! With a few minor flaws it worked! I will add, it took less than an hour to whip up. I can say that although it took a year to reach this point, I am quite pleased that it worked out.
Basic how to- cut/stitch a long rectangle tube of ruffle knit (or any 2 way knit), leaving a few inches open at the bottom for a leg inseam, stitch it up and add an elastic casing at the top.
A perfectly (late) ruffle romper! I have seen them added with belts, straps and flowers however by 2 am my goal had been reached; all creativity at this point was gone! In the morning, R was delighted by her newest outfit, woke up big sister C to show off her new ruffles!
