Light + Breezy Toddler Summer Romper

Guess what I made?  It's a quick, little romper for Rora in breezy, beautiful voile!  I picked up this Cloud 9 organic voile from Bobbie Lou's Fabric Factory, where it's on sale now.   The colors are girly, but the angular not-rainbow design is urban and artsy.  

Here it is made up in the Summer Romper, a free pattern in sizes 2 to 11 from the Purl Bee.  It's the first thing I've made for her in size 2.  Eeek!  Clearly it's the adjustable straps that make this size work.  She can't be a size 2, can she?  Not my baby!

Anyhoo, it was a pleasure to make.  It's fitted with elastic at the waist in a clever interior casing.  I added snaps at the crotch, for diaper access.  I needed a full yard of fabric to make it in her size.  But that's a whole outfit for a yard!  I can't complain.  

The weather is certainly not yet warm enough for this little romper, but when summer rolls round I'll be glad to dress her in something so airy and cool.
