Pattern Description: Baby christening outfits. I made the boys romper and matching jacket.


Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes it did.

Were the instructions easy to follow? These instructions were very easy to follow.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? This pattern was very well drafted. It went together with no problems at all. I liked that the sleeves on the jacket easy to ease in. Usually pattern companies put too much ease in the sleeve cap. That was not the case with this pattern. I also liked that the jacket was lined. It made for a nice finish on the front edges, bottom, and neck. No turning under and stitching.

Fabric Used: Cotton sateen from JoAnn's.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I used a small pom-pom type trim instead of the middy braid the pattern called for. I think if I were to make this pattern again, I would line the bodice of the romper to give it a more finished look.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I highly recomend this pattern.

Conclusion: This outfit lokked adorable on my Godson. It is a very cute outfit for a baby boy's baptism day.
