FO (finished object)

I finished something. It took about a month, sewing a seam a day here and there - the kind of thing that drives me crazy! This retro romper (Butterick 5326) is made from ultra-lightweight cotton seersucker, with a tiny bit of silver metallic thread mixed in. I love the elastic at the legs, which I think will compliment Liora's chubby thighs, but am less keen on the back button closure (although I traded buttons for velcro in an attempt to improve it). Personally, I think all baby clothes should open in the front. The tacky pink bow is attached to the clothes hanger, so please don't worry that it's part of the garment. Hopefully Liora will fit into this soon and I can add a picture of her modeling it.
