Boy Shirt

There are lots of clothes I made for my kids that I never posted about. This shirt is one of them. I made it last year, and what I love the most about it is that my son specifically asked for it, after he saw me making this set of a Ema Romper and Wayne Shirt in grey and mint for a friend’s kids. He also picked the fabrics from my stash himself. The best part of sewing for this boy is that he…

Biodiversity

Today we travelled through time, art, science and history, in the Natural History Museum in Oporto. This museum just opened in a building were I was lucky enough to be a student, about 20 years ago, so I felt like a time traveler. The botanical gardens are still magical and the exposition is very educative with lots of interactive features, perfect for families with kids. It makes use of art…

Great Grandma ♥ Bisavó Aos 83, a minha avó ainda é uma das melhores companhias de brincadeira dos meus filhos ♥ Mas ela sempre foi a companhia favorita de toda a criançada da vizinhança e não só.

My favorite garments for babies are overalls. Not just because they are so lovely, but also because it is the most comfy wear for baby and for the mom. Rompers don’t slip up or down and you don’t need to keep adjusting it all the time. And jersey/knit rompers are the best of all, because they stretch along with babies movements.

I made a few of these Ema Rompers for shipping last year, and finally finished the pattern instructions and have it available at the shop. These romper has snaps in between legs for easy diaper changing, and the shoulder straps are the best way to grow with your baby, making it wearable for a few more weeks (babies do grow fast!!!).

The pattern comes in sizes from birth to 24 months.

As minhas fatiotas preferidas para bebés são as de corpo inteiro. Não só porque ficam lindos, mas também pelo sentido prático e confortável. Os fofos ou macacões não escorregam para cima quando lhes pegamos ao colo, e não é preciso estar sempre a pô-los novamente no lugar. Gosto particularmente dos de malha, porque são elásticos e adaptam-se melhor aos movimentos dos bebés.

O ano passado fiz alguns destes Ema Rompers para enviar, e agora o molde e as instruções passo a passo estão finalmente prontas e disponíveis na loja (em Inglês apenas). O molde inclui molas de pressão entrepernas, para facilitar a muda da fralda e as alças nos ombros são a melhor forma de se adaptar ao crescimento do bebé, tornando-o mais fácil de usar por mais tempo (os bebés crescem mesmo depressa!!!).

Tamanhos do molde: 0 – 24 meses.
