I love to sew and I love to try new patterns.
I also love when I can laugh at myself.
Even failures can be funny, right?
I have been wanting to try my hand at a bubble romper for Ainsley and found a pattern in my stash that seemed like it could work.
I won’t lie. I generally avoid all Simplicity patterns because they almost always seem to have fitting issues, regardless of their so called “sizing chart” on the back.
However, I threw all caution to the wind and had a crazy moment.
I was determined to make Ainsley a cute “retro” bubble romper.
I began cutting and sewing.
I was starting to see how, um, large this bubble romper was getting.
I said to myself “Sheesh, this looks like it could fit ME!”
Morning time came and I tried it on her.
Pictures just don’t do it justice.
Trust me when I say that this thing was HUGE.
I even changed up the back a bit to bring it in.
Even Ainsley got a good giggle out of it.
Here is where everyone in the family got a real good laugh.
Remember when I had the thought “It could probably fit me?”
Well, I wanted to test that theory.
And my theory was correct.
And I love being correct.
