Ottobre pattern review- 2/2005 #4- Denim romper with seat flap.
It took hours, lol. Really, it took a long time, and was very labor intense. Not very many skippable parts. I like it, it came out really cute! But, there is one thing I would change- eliminate the butt flap. I am just not crazy about it. And, it would eliminate like half the steps, lol.
All in all, it was not a hard pattern- just lots of steps. The directions included were fairly good- I read them over a few times before I started. I also skipped the back leg elastic- I am just not crazy about it for a toddler boy.
Pics kinda suck, as I was just trying to snap them really fast, and he was not having it

Give them love every day

Oh but let them be little" - Billy Dean
I really wish I had a boy to make that for!!!!! I'm in love with the outfit, lol. But I wouldn't eliminate the butt flap - it's part of the reason I love it. I'm thinking I'll probably make it for the babe next summer, but I need to girly it up some (even in solid girly colors it doesn't look girly enough for me).
I love the fussy-cutting on the pockets - definately makes it look more professional! Did you use metal or plastic snaps on the butt?

Mary, I totally love the outfit. It is perfect! I agree with Jayme, and think the flap is cute ~ it wouldn't be the same without it. Although I haven't made it, lol.

I am thinking of making one for my niece in dark denim, with fuschia topstitching, and maybe an embroidery instead of the pockets. I think that will girly it up enough.
