Pattern: Bumblebee Bodysuit & Romper
Designer: Peek A Boo Patterns
Fabrics: Cotton Canvas from The Telarie
Skill level: Advanced Beginner
Size made: 0
Adjustments: None
Pros: The cutest little set for a new bubba, I adore the flutter detail on the sleeves. 
Cons: There are a couple of extra steps that a beginner may find challenging. 

The Wrap Up

I have made a couple of these now, and they are just so cute! It’s one of my fave things to gift new girl bubbas.

I like adding the flutter though I know for newbies it might be a bit of a challenge. My biggest piece of advice is to take it slowly.

I've been playing with my new sewing machine, and I can't believe I ever lived without these three features! ✨ 🪡 No-touch pivot function: Sewing tricky details like welt pockets feels SEW much easier, almost like having an extra hand. ✂️ Auto thread cutting: One press, and the threads are cut. Plus, I'm saving so much thread with shorter tails! 💫 Beautiful topstitching – The finish is just chef’s kiss! No fighting with my machine to get even stitches. This project was a breeze, and I can't wait to hear, "I can't believe you made that!" 😍 Who else swears by these features? Or is there a sewing machine function you can’t live without? Let me know below! ⬇️ #brotheraustralia #ad #sponsored #innovisnv1800q #sewingmachine
