GYCT Pattern Review - Shorties Nightgown and Bloomers

I recently had the opportunity to test the first children's clothing pattern being released by Chelsea from Get Your Crap Together. This pattern has a vintage feel and a couple of different options. I love that it goes from 6 months all the way up to a size 8 so it fits both my girls. There is a top and bloomers or a nightgown option as well as puff sleeves or sleeveless. 

I tested the size 6 short sleeve top and bloomers for my youngest and she was hamming it up for pictures as you can see. This came together quickly and used less than a yard of each fabric.  I can't believe how cute these are. The bloomers are my favorite part.

Since the top is a little roomier I decided to try the size 8 in knit for my oldest. She usually wears a 10 but the 8 fit her great. She isn't a fan of elastic sleeves so she asked that I leave those off. I also made a band to fit around the sleeves instead of adding the lining that the pattern called for. When she saw it she said it needed more color at the bottom so I added a band of the turquoise there as well. That was all she needed to put a smile on her face. 
Since these came together so fast I decided to try it again but with fleece this time. I also went down a size in the top. So this version is a size 5 top and size 6 bloomers. The fit is perfect and who doesn't love Strawberry Shortcake, right?
Just to show you how fun it can be to take pictures of an ornery 4 year old, here's some outtakes. :)
This pattern will be available for instant download in February 20, 2014 so keep your eyes open.

**I received a free copy of this pattern to test. All opinions are my own**

  2. Love these. What sweet jammies. I adore the bloomers. I love anything with a vintage feel. All your posts make me wish that I could sew clothes. Sigh. At least I can admire yours.
