Description

This course follows through from drafting a pattern (all measurements included) for 4 types of rompers; a long leg romper, a short leg romper, an A-line dress and a gathered skirt dress, to sewing up the garments.

This pattern can be drafted in 000 (3 months), 00 (6 months),0 (12 months), 1 (18 months) and 2 (24+ months).

To be able to complete this course, you will need basic beginner skills on a sewing machine. You will also need the physical items in the list below.


  • Sewing machine (can have straight stitch only)

  • Cotton/linen woven fabric

  • Matching thread

  • Paper, pencil, ruler, 90 degree ruler

  • Fabric scissors, paper scissors

  • Pins

  • Iron

  • Tape measure

When making the garments, the only requirements are fabric and thread. It uses no other notions for a simple construction and use. It also only uses a straight stitch on the sewing machine.

This course is designed so that you can make patterns yourself to be used for garments to be made as gifts, for your own children or for sale. There is no restriction on using the made patterns to sew items to sell for profit.

After you have made the pattern, you can make minor adjustments knowing how the pattern has been made. This may include having thinner straps, baggier waist or a fuller skirt, suitable for your or your customers needs. These specific instructions are not included in the course.

This pattern may be made in a stretch fabric, but note that the fabric will need a good recovery, and it will fit a larger child than the pattern indicates. You will also need to adjust your stitch type (to zig-zag or overlocker/serger) to allow stretch without thread breakage.

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner to intermediate sewers who want to draft a pattern
  • Sewers who want baby and toddler garments to make to sell, for personal use or for gifts
