New Look pattern 6446 Romper

Sewing to the Moon new look pattern 6446
Let's make a jumper! Grab some fun fabric and you'll have a new garment in an afternoon.

This New Look 6446 pattern is my favorite romper to sew. It's easy and fun to sew. Plus, it has options to make the legs different lengths. Jumpers or rompers ares great seasonal transition pieces. Add a sweater and some chucks, and you're set.

This is half sew along and half review. It's not a complete step by step. Hopefully you'll get some useful info out of it though.

​Most of the summer was spent enjoying beautiful weather, great friends, resort pools, and camping.
My friend stayed with us for a week and we squeezed in some sewing time. And, the jumper was finished at another friends house while I visited her. Ha!! Yes, having sewing friends in real life is amazing. #findyourtribe

Grab the New Look Pattern 6446. You won't regret it! There are tons of tutorials on this pattern online and You Tube. 

I chose to use this fabric that I've had since 2015. Yikes!
I bought 3 yards at Joann fabrics in the clearance section. It's an extremely soft, thick knit. I used a 16" invisible zipper and coordinating white thread. 

I used my high bust measurement for the bodice. My waist measurement almost always gets blended out because I'm not a wasp. I used size 14 for the top and blended out to a size 16 for the waist, and back down to 14 for the hips.  This worked well for me.

There were quite a few pieces, but it was pretty simple to cut everything. I used the actual pattern pieces instead of tracing onto pattern paper. 

Make sure you cut out everything and throw it all in a pile on the floor until you're ready to sew! It's the only way to do it. ;) Oh and take a blurry pic too!

Isn't this cherry fabric sweet?
Sew in the darts and assemble the bodice pieces. Do this for the bodice and lining.

The pockets were easy to make. It's a one piece, pattern piece that you fold together and sew into the waist area.

Anyone else get excited over a perfect crotch seam? LOL

Sew up the pant legs following the pattern directions. Inseam first, then outer legs.

Tuck the bodice inside the pant legs at the waist, right sides together. I used clips and they seemed to hold all the layers more easily.

Almost done! Almost....

Should look like this once the bodice and legs are sewn together.
Cut and sew the straps. If you'd like, go ahead and topstitch them. It's optional.
Baste them and sew into the bodice sandwiched between the lining and bodice pieces. Add the hem and you're done! 

*The zipper gets added before the straps are attached, but I sewed the zipper at a friends house, so no pictures. :(

    Hi there, I'm Annette and I love eating and sewing. I usually have a cup of coffee or tea with me, but not next to my machine because I'd probably spill it. I am the reason we can't have nice things.
