Brindille & Twig Harem Rompers

Today I would like to show you my new favourite pattern, the incredibly cute and quick Harem Romper from Brindille & Twig. I mean, I have fallen in love with their whole pattern catalogue, and definitely had to rein myself in to avoid spending all my non-existent money buying all of their patterns. I managed to stop at just one, and what a good one it is. 

I am never buying a new baby gift again. These are so quick, easy and fun to sew up. And look how cute!

This one was a gift for some friends of mine and their new baby. I get so emotional when friends have babies, and I love giving them something handmade. I made size 0-3months as I know how quickly they grow out of newborn size!

The pattern is great, I love how it includes little details like a pointer to sew a line of stitching down the top of the side seam to keep the lining in place. I did make a silly error which ended up with exposed reinforcing pieces (they should be between the outer and lining layers), but it’s not THAT bad so I just left it.

This lovely fabric is from Maud’s Fabric Finds. I bought it in the sale ages ago along with some other awesome lengths of jersey which have since become more baby clothes (coming to the blog soon). 

They are all top quality and just lovely to work with. I was so sad to hear that Maud’s Fabric Finds was closing. I did check out their closing down sale but I think I was a bit late, all the things I loved had gone.

I also made one with leftovers from my Gooseducks Maternity Top for my littlest niece, also in size 0-3months. Love this one too. There’s something about this print! 

I later got round to making a bigger one for my little tyke! 

Said tyke is now sleeping through the night! Now that I am getting a full night’s sleep I feel like a different person. A human person! So I have more energy to sew in the evenings and at nap times, which is a very welcome thing.
