Sewing Danny Choo's Free Romper Pattern for Smartdoll

[@francieholt7299]

Thank you SO much for this tutorial!! I was able to make the romper!! I love how it turned out!

[@BoucheronsNo.1Fan]

Yay I've been thinking about this pattern for a few weeks now, I love sewing "with" you!

[@UnderOrange]

I'm glad! It's fun to be able to share the sewing with you!

Another awesome video! Thank you! I don’t have time to try this right now but hopefully I will in the next couple weeks. I really appreciate you breaking down the steps and demonstrating how to assemble the pattern.

I'm so glad it's helpful!

Sure did turn out cute!!! I look so forward to your videos!! They are like Lomi's. They give me confidence that I can do it too!!! As soon as I can get outta this bed i'm gonna try!!!!

[@UnderOrange]

You definitely can do it! I'm so glad I can inspire. ❤️

Thank you. Your tips encouraged me to try this outfit again. I had to sew the waistband on by hand first time because I could not get it over my Brother machine free arm. I must have done something wrong since your outfit slipped over free arm.

Great job! I will try the pattern myself, and your video will be of help. Thank you!

Nice video! I made this with a woven fabric and I also thought the straps and bust area was WAY too loose. I think the romper overall is just a really bad fit for Smart Dolls? It's weird because it's actually meant for them. If I made it again, I would redraft the bust area with a dart or just smaller overall. Yours still turned out really cute tho!

[@janetshannon3296]

Good job! I made this too. I struggled choosing the best sequence of section assembly to get the easiest bias installation, and the waist channel. I hand tacked my waste band channel to be sure I got it exactly where I wanted. I used stretchy knit for the bias, and it too turned out too long, even though I shortened it a little. I think the shoulder straps are going to stretch out as you topstitch, no matter what. I have it on my small bust girl and feel it is just too floppy. Going to try it on my medium large girl. Maybe I will be happier. It seems ok for dolly loungewear, but not my fav. You did a perfect job really.

[@UnderOrange]

Thank you! I do think the design is a little lower cut than I usually prefer, but it does look perfect for super hot summer days.

I love this pattern.. I've made a bunch of different styles, from long pants to skirts.

[@UnderOrange]

How fun! I can definitely see it's versatility!

[@81hplar]

I mean you have a super pretty Smart doll

[@UnderOrange]

Do you use a finer thread when making doll clothes?

[@UnderOrange]

Nope, just ordinary machine sewing thread.

[@Strawberry_Matcha_]

What kind of sewing machine do you use

[@UnderOrange]

It's a Bernina 1008. Unfortunately I think they're a bit hard to find now, but they're really lovely machines.

[@creativ_mum]

Is this pattern only for stretchy fabric or can I use 100 % cotton?

[@UnderOrange]

Cotton is just fine! I actually used stretchy because I didn't have anything else light enough, lol. You'd just want to cut the shoulder straps on the diagonal like pattern pieces indicate.
