Ryan Bubble Romper

Relaxing in the Ryan Romper

It is so hot in the Chicago suburbs that I decided to try a new bubble romper for my Cabbage Patch 14 inch boy. (I think we are having record breaking temperatures of over 90 degrees.) To keep Ryan cool, I made this. Each romper will be unique depending on what fabric I use. This one is one of a kind. It is a darling blue cotton sailboat and tugboat print.

Let's start with the fabric.

I only had a little bit left of this fabric but had enough to make this 14" romper. You only need about 13" of fabric.

My doll needed to be measured to decide how much higher to make my bloomer pattern to convert it into this romper sized pattern. I added 3" which gave plenty of crotch depth.

The center front seam was serged.

The leg bottoms were serged and 6 1/2" of elastic on each leg was basted on with a wide stitch.

Finish the leg opening by zig zagging the elastic flat.

I sewed my straps. I had cut 7"x 2" straps but really only needed about 5 3/4". I had finished the edges, sewed down the size, turned them inside out with my tube turner, and topstitched them for a nice finish.

The straps were stitched on them 1" from the center front and 3/4 inch from the center back. I had put this on the doll to decide how long they actually needed to be.

Here I am sewing down the back seam from where the hook and loop will end to the bottom of the leg opening. I had serged the edges first for a neat look. This is the tricky part.

The hook and loop tape being applied...

Here is the finished romper. One picture is of the 14" Cabbage Patch Preemie and the other of the 14" regular sized doll.

Ryan will be keeping cool in his new bubble romper!

Introducing Hope & Holden

3 Years ago, when I was dreaming about new patterns, I started realizing that I had fallen in love with doll clothes that were hooded. My flannel Pajamas were one of my top sellers so I decided that I needed to draft a hooded pj pattern for the Bitty Baby Dolls. My first ones had with ears but they take 50 percent longer to make so my buyers didn't want to pay that much extra for the work that was involved. There are a few of these marked down in my stores because I am not currently making Bitty Baby Clothes. I also have an Owl one for CP on Amazon that has been marked down. Without the ears ***Still cute but not as high of a price point. In March of last year, I said, "Cabbage Patch, why not?" So I drafted patterns for the 16 inch dolls. Soon, 14 inch and preemie sizes were made. The hoods are larger on the preemie but I can specially make a smaller hood if one was wanted because I made a pattern for that too. Last month, I realized that I
