PR&P: Retro Romper Rainbow

This week on Project Run and Play the theme was retro/vintage! I was so excited about this topic, then had a bit of a struggle, as discussed here ha! But thanks to all your comments I remember this is meant to be fun and a chance to be inspired! I decided to go with a project I had been wanting to do for a while, a vintage inspired romper. I love the halter romper from Wovenplay but didn't want it so bootie short :).

When I went for fabric at the local fabric store I found the gingham in so many colors I had to make several and thankfully some of Evie's friends were willing to be my models!

They were so much fun to photography and were just adorable!

I wanted a solid splash of color around their wastes so I made solid color belts to tie around the elastic waist (all about comfort when cuties are involved) :)

I made the fabric flowers that can be worn on the belt, or if they don't want a belt on the halter strap or in their hair :)

I made the girlies little headkerchiefs but forgot that Zahra is in fact tiny, super tiny so everything was a bit big on her cute little frame.

When I told the girls to take a break they were so cute and stood around talking about their boots

My wonderful friend sent the boots from Jakarta and thank heavens Zahra's feet were tiny enough to fit in the green ones

There was some adorable orange gingham but I couldn't find any boots that would go with it. But I had to throw some orange in there somehow.

I knew it would be raining and I while doing my research I read THIS article that talked about lined princess coats for them to wear.
_MG_2638_3663
Evie refused to wear her's, I mean threw a positive fit when I tried to keep it on her ha! I love how the colors look together. Which is why I am giving them away as a set!!! If you would like to be entered to win all you need to do is leave a comment! (if you don't want them but still want to leave a comment, I would love still love it) If you would like to make your own the pattern for size 4/5 is available HERE and the 6-12 month size is available HERE. I will be doing tutorial for the rompers on "Make It Monday". Now, if you have a moment and wouldn't mind hoping over to Project Run and Play to vote I would LOVE it! My fingers are crossed that I make it through because I have the best idea for next week :) Thanks for all you support!

  23. I love the boots and the bright colors. The world needs more gingham. It always makes me think of simpler times.

    To thine own self be true. Old advice, but still sound. You make such lovely things. Even if you don't win, you've still won by making things you feel good about and that work for you and your sweet little ones (be they yours or borrowed ;) ).

    Shine on!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I swear you can do no wrong haha. I would love to win one!

  30. Kelly, You rock! These are my absolute favorite this week! Everyone did a great job, but this was the most "current" interpretation of a retro look. I love how they turned out and how comfy those kids look. As always your pictures are stunning! Great job! I was happy to vote for you this week :)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  37. I love them! I would love to win them! And if not, I'm sure I'll be making a bunch. I can see this being a summer staple in my house and the pattern is the perfect size! Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Kelly these are AMAZING! I am so glad you didn't change your mind and try to do something that was not you. Your style is perfect. Now hopefully I can have a baby girl this next time around so I have someone to make such cute rompers for :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Those turned out absolutely adorable! Love them. Can't wait for a pattern/tutorial. I have a couple of girlies that would look adorable in them this summer.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love the rompers and the ponchos! Waiting for the tutorials! Now, to find some more gingham (I just picked up a small piece fromt the thrift store). I hope you win!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Those girls look adorable! Super cute rompers! Would look great on my little monkey this summer. Love those boots too!

  46. seems to me that the rompers were a too toddler-y, because those older girls look under-dressed to me, without their ponchos. i know its just my perspective and all, but i wanted to comment. I love what you've done with the gingham and solids, and love the little models and their sass, but the clothes themselves look better on your littlest model and i think thats because they are a little big on her(=fits better).

    ReplyDelete
  47. I love these rompers! So adorable!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Love...as always...:) VOTE? Check. Leave comment? Check....You're super mom!!! Can't wait to see what you have in store for next week!

    ReplyDelete
  49. SO ADORABLE. Love, love them...the gingham is too cute. I love that you share the patterns, too (thanks for that)!

    I am so in love with this! On my way to Project Run and Play now!

  56. I've just voted and although some of the other entries are nice I think yours ROCK as they are sooo cute, colorful and any little girl would love them. My 2 girls aged two and one both love them particularly the yellow set and the black set. Looking forward to the tutorial as these would be one of a kind. I'd also love to min one of these sets.

    W o W these are great. Hope you get through to the following week can't wait to see what you'll create.

  70. Wow, I can't believe we have a chance of winning these! that is fabulous and so are they! I have 3 girls aged 5, 2, and 6 months so these would look very cute on them at various stages over the next few years! So glad I came across your blog and I love the fabric challenge! I am going to read back (when I have the time!) to see what you have made with those precious 15 yards, or at least the 8 odd that you have used. Such a rewarding yourng life your kids will have moving around the world, I would love to do the same thing, but taking 4 is a logistical nightmare! I am sure you will be through with flying colours this week and I can't wait to see what you come up with next week!

  111. Hello Kelly, These are the prettiest rompers I have ever seen! Today as soon as the shops are open (21 minutes to 9:00 am CET:)) I will go to the closost fabrics store and buy the textiles to try one for my 2 year-old. There are still months until summer (we have to sleep 91 times until 1st June not counting the afternoon naps with my daughter) but as I'm quite a beginner at sewing I think I will need this time to finish. Though I would be most happy to win one too... :))) Please keep creating all these wonderful clothes. Good luck and all the best! Ps. I'm Anita not Eugenia...

  112. i love your blog, thanks share the patterms
