The Teatime Romper sewing pattern teaches you how to make a super cute romper for your kidlet! The fit is comfortable around the chest so it’s perfect for layering or wearing on its own. The elasticated neckline means older children can easily dress themselves!
All the cleverly-designed self-finishing seams means the raw edges are neatly tucked away out of sight. As such there is no fraying fabric for little hands to pick at!
This simple, yet super cute, romper is perfect for beginner sewistas!

This is a fantastic base romper pattern that you can make your own so easily. If you’re comfortable, or once you are comfortable with bias, it’s also a very quick sew.

It is the perfect summer shorts romper and an amazing layering romper for the fall and spring. It was a super easy sew and went super fast. It is a definite buy.

Awesome pattern, great, easy to follow instructions.
Amanda Brine-Zamora (verified owner) –
It is a well written and very concise pattern. Everything you need to make the garment is there. At the end of making it, you will have a lovely outfit that can be used in both summer and cooler months by layering and different choice of fabrics. I’m a huge fan of French seams and I love that this was frenched seamed throughout. I think it is a great technique for people who are beginning to sew to create a more professional looking garment.

It is a great easy to follow pattern with good instructions! I loved learning the encased waist elastic as I’ve never done that before & your instructions made it easy peasy 🙂

An all around must for spring, summer and fall.

Perfect for summer and spring with boho chic flair. Dress it up or down, this pattern won’t disappoint. For smaller sizes has snap options which not other designers think to consider. Not only that there are many more options and new techniques you learn throughout the pattern. This is a must have for you spring/summer collections!

Get it! The finished product is well worth your time and effort.

The finished seams made it feel professional and good quality. I like the extra security the French seam will provide for an active toddler.

If you’re looking for a cute, on the trend style, and super quick to make this would be the pattern to make.
Sarah Hirst (verified owner) –
I love the nostalgia of this pattern, it reminded me of something my sister and I would have worn on summer holidays (in either matching or reverse colours!). I also love that it is a play-suitable item, kids can move comfortably and easily use the bathroom.
Emma Hardman (verified owner) –
This is a versatile romper/playsuit. It can be short for summer of layered for more chilly climates. It is bang on trend right now.
Sara Verdin (verified owner) –
I definitely recommend it as a quick sew with great results. I loved all the pictures that are included & the easy to follow directions. The finished garment is really adorable.
Jamie Maier (verified owner) –
It is the perfect pattern for anytime of year. With the long trouser or shorts option. Can wear a shirt under or style with a jacket in cooler months. Just a darling classic style.

BUY BUY BUY! Match it with funky fabrics or keep it simple with one fabric! Each and every one will be different!

It’s a a nice easy sew that comes together nicely and doesn’t require alot of time or thought.
Krista Smith (verified owner) –
It was easy to make and probably something that my daughter can make on her own (with my help, of course). She loves making her own clothes and would enjoy the simplicity of this.
Joanne Wainwright (verified owner) –
Great all around pattern, lots of different looks for all year round from summer to winter. Nice pattern, fun to make and you will love the outcome.
Kelly Ballou (verified owner) –
The Teatime Romper is very versatile with a lot of options. You can really make it your own. I liked how the waist seam was all enclosed. I’ve made other patterns that don’t do this, and it’s a nice touch.

It’s a lovely pattern that would look adorable during warm weather but that the added elasticity of it means it’s also perfect for layering in colder weathers. There are so many options that it can easily be tailored to suit the child and is definitely suitable for the age range of 0-12. Love discovering French seams again. These are often missed out in favour of serging/overlocking on modern PDF patterns so it was fun to do them again and gave a much better finish.
Kellie Padilla (verified owner) –
There is versatility with the pattern and is perfect year round. I’m considering making one that ties at the top of the shoulders instead of using the elastic to see how it turns out.
Katie Littman (verified owner) –
PURCHASE IT! It’s a lovely, simple pattern with many options for customization. It will be part of my daughters personal wardrobe for years to come. I love how simple it is to put together but turns out very cute. I also love how you explained the French seam. I had my non-sewing hubby read over that & even he understood.

It was so easy to use, and the results were beautiful!
Renee Hildreth –
I would say this pattern takes a little time but the end result was worth it. The instructions and photos were very clear and helpful.

Loved this romper! It was a fun, easy pattern to sew and it’s super practical for kids play, especially when they live on the trampoline!
