Tried That: Linen Romper

Linen Romper 1

Last week, I shared with you one of my first attempts at sewing clothes. I'm back with one more project. I mentioned sometime ago that I was planning on trying to make my own romper. Well, operation romper is complete.

I used this pattern by Salme. After some tweaking -- including nixing the belt loops, reducing the thickness of the elastic waistband by about half, and shortening the shorts (I like short shorts), I am really impressed by how the fit turned out (booty shot to prove it later). However, I am again finding myself sort of regretting my fabric choice. I went with a navy blue linen, and in the end, I'm thinking the color gives off a mechanic vibe. Like a sexy mechanic, maybe? Whatever. Anyway, read on for some more shots.

Pretty proud of these pockets!

  5. This looks great! Most of my sewing projects turn into craft fails... I could see that as the winner of a Project Runway challenge.
