I’m excited to share the newest P4P pattern with everyone! Right now, so many of us are trying to find a little more peace of mind. Trust us, we are too. So we thought it would be the perfect time to add some stylish “secret pajamas” to everyone’s closets. Who doesn’t love being comfortable and also love feeling cute too?! The Runabout Romper & Dress will give you both with a quick easy sew.
With this loose, slouchy fit, you’ll be comfortable all day. But we made sure to mix in some extra style with off-the shoulder looks, high/low skirts, slitted maxi lengths, and elastic cinched waistlines that will leave you feeling pretty darn good! There are so many options that you can make a huge stack and no one will ever know you’re sewing the same pattern, on repeat!
Consider yourself to be more of a visual person? Listen, friend. We’ve got you covered there as well. Our tutorial is packed full of videos, covering topics like fabric choice, sizing, mashing sizes, sewing the waistband and even a complete sew up video from start to end with with our Pirate Captain Judy!

There are multiple sleeve options. You can pick tank, dolman short sleeve, or dolman long sleeve…depending on weather. There are also a ton of bottoms to pair with your bodice. Enjoy choosing between a curved knee length skirt, maxi length skirt with side seam slits, a looser-fitted shorts romper, or trendy jogger romper bottoms. With all of these options, you can add a cute faux drawstring, chest pocket, and/or slat pockets. Trust us on the pockets — we make sure they’re “real” pockets and you can actually fit things inside of them.
The dolman bodice includes a scoop neckline with a bit lower back (which still safely covers bras) and a super fun off-the-shoulder style neckline. The elastic waistband on every pattern option hits right at the natural waistline, allowing for a flattering silhouette.
We suggest using knits that are light-to-medium weight and have a softer drape. Think: double brushed polyester, rayon blends, sweater knits, modal spandex blends, bamboo blends, tri-blends, french terry/rayon blends, ribbed knits, and lightweight cotton blend jerseys.

I am looking for the Peg Leg for children but can’t find anything. Is there no Peg Leg pattern for 2 to 12 or 14 children? Very confusing.

No, I do not have a youth sizing legging. But my sister Megan does 🙂 http://www.madeformermaids.com
