This is a loose fit romper or top designed to fit throughout all stages of life. It includes sizing from newborn up to adult plus! The bubble romper (youth sizes only) gives you a gender neutral option for matching with your littles.
This is a sleeveless romper with no pleat, modeled off our Mama Romper. It still works for maternity with no mods needed. The nursing panel can go inside the garment or outside of it, and you can even use it when you're not making the breastfeeding version.
These make great gifts because it's easy to guess the size!

Print Internationally
Our tiles have two layers, labeled A4 and Letter. US printers use the Letter layer, and everyone else can use A4!
Trimless Tiles
We designed our tiles to save paper and be easy to assemble. Place the guidelines on top of each other and tape or glue. The letter layer has solid guidelines with a star in each corner. The A4 layer has dashed guidelines with a circle in each corner. Each page has a number, and the tutorial has an assembly chart.
Copyshop Printing
A0 pages are 33.25" by 60" and are printable at most copyshops. We design ours to be printable in black and white. There are no passwords on any of our files.
Projector Optimized Files
Every pattern comes with a projector optimized pdf file. See what our projector file includes here.
Video + Picture Tutorial
We use pictures in our tutorials, not line drawings. We add in videos of steps that testers have a hard time understanding.
Bookmarks
Our tutorial has a table of contents, along with bookmarks. This allows you to quickly get to the page you need.
Updates
When a pattern is updated, you will get an email notification. Since we are a newer pattern company, we are updating several times a year as our skills improve.
Download Instructions
Each download contains a zipped (compressed) file, for downloading all the files at once. Download the .zip file, right click on the file and select "extract all".
We also include each file individually, if you wish to download each file separately.
