Sunflower Seams Lokelani Romper!

Summer Days are the best for Rompers! And since it's summer all year round here, this little one practically lives in rompers. We are always on the lookout for rompers and this is one of the winners in our books! 

This is Lokelani from Sunflower Seams Pattern Co. I made this version out of cotton lycra for the main fabric and DBP scraps for the straps. I just love how it all came together and the very fact that i was able to find scraps that matched the main fabric perfectly was just icing on the cake! 


This is the shorts length but there's also a capri length for those who prefer the knees covered. In fact, I may make some in capri length for when she goes to playgrounds so that there's less chance of her scraping her knees. As we all know, toddlers tend to fall and scrap their knees quite a bit! =p


Here's a closeup of her in her Lokelani. The straps are slightly thicker here than the final version - the final version straps look nicer cos it's thinner but i find this version cute too. 


I think I will be making more of these soon. Though I may skip the middle tie straps since the negative ease is enough to keep the romper up as is!

Candy Castle's Box of Chocolates Pattern

 Here's yet another Yummy Candy Castle pattern for little ones - Box of Chocolates Crop top, shirt, dress and high-low tunic.

This pattern is chock full of options and perfect for the absolute beginner to knit patterns. She has thorough blending instructions - my go-to instructions for blending! 

My first version of this pattern is a cute crop top made with remnants from my previous sew and it's perfect to pair with a poofy pettiskirt for an ultra sassy outfit complete with an adorable toddler belly 😍




Just look at that happy face. She can't help do a little twirl in her new outfit!
And for the little ones who prefer something sweet and demure, how about the simple yet twirltastic circle skirt version of Box of Chocolates dress? I made this version with an extra sparkly gold speckled cotton lycra and it's stylist comfort at its best =)



There's also the hi-low skirt which I have plans for once she is older - that one is absolutely beautiful especially on the other tester girls. U shld check it out at the link here.
