May “Flip this Pattern”: Flipped Creation Two


Terra, from Mama Says Sew, is here to give you her “Flipped Creation”
for the Cottage Mama, Run-Around Romper.
************************************************************************
Hi everyone! I’m Terra from mama says sew and I’m excited to be participating in May’s Flip this Pattern!
The Run-Around Romper screams baby and toddler to me, but I don’t have one of those right now. (Which, incidentally, kind of surprises me-when did my baby grow up?!) So, I confronted reality and decided to give this pattern a little more of a “big girl” feel.
I kept the top half essentially the same. The only change I made was to go down a size (so it wouldn’t be quite so roomy) and add some piping around the neckline and button tabs.
The bottom half, though, is a completely different animal. I added a waistband to separate the top from the bottom. It also has piping along the top and bottom. And the bottom is a pleated skirt.
Here are some close-ups of the jumper. The piping goes all the way around the top of the jumper in one continuous piece. I also really like the waistband. I cut some chevron fabric against the grain so that it would look kind of like arrows. Or something. And then to tie it in with the rest of the dress, I added the piping on the top and bottom edges of the waistband.
It may be spring, but Mother Nature seems to have missed the memo, so she’s wearing the jumper with a turtleneck and tights. I love that it will work nicely through the summer (sans turtleneck) and into next fall (assuming we don’t have a growth spurt).
This was a great pattern to work with. I’m looking forward to making more Run-Around Rompers for our new little girl coming this summer! In the meantime, I’ll enjoy this little sweetheart in her big sister version!
************************************************************************
“Flip this Pattern” voting will begin on Friday, May 23 and run through Sunday, May 25.
Stay tuned for more “Flips” coming your way….every Thursday….between now and then!
And, in the meantime, link up your “Flipped Pattern” and be inspired by others sewing along!

Terra, I love the pleated skirt! I may have to borrow that idea and make my girls some school jumpers–the pleats would be great for that too!

Looks so cute on your sweet girl!
