How I made this Boy's heirloom Bubble/Romper

 A sweet Louisiana momma asked me to make an heirloom brother/sister set for her children for Christmas this year. I was beyond excited--and she had a great idea already in mind!

We decided upon using heirloom ivory batiste--so soft, just gorgeous--with red accents.

For the boy's romper, I used a pattern called 'Bailey'. I extended the yoke to where the smocking would end, and did some insertion, pin tucks, and hand embroidery.

The center buttons have a gorgeous etched design--they were $1.50 a piece...I couldn't let her pass on them--they are gorgeous!

I can't wait to see a picture of him in his little knee socks!

Stay tuned for the matching dresses with embroidered sashes!
