Today is the first day of Spring and it is time to begin thinking of Easter baskets and bunnies! This classic little boy's outfit can be made from pattern #113 Toddler Romper or #133 Baby Romper, and is a style that I enjoyed making for my own boys when they were small. For the fabric I chose yellow pique and white imperial batiste to give it a fresh spring look. The Easter basket and bunny designs are included in pattern #113 and in the Heirloom Embroidery Book, along with the Shadow Embroidery instructions. If you have not tried shadow embroidery, it is a fun and easy stitch and is perfect when you need a soft look. After the collar was completed I attached the white rickrack to the edge using yellow embroidery floss and a whip stitch. Rickrack has become extremely popular again and is a great edging for the boy garments. Can't you just see this outfit on your little guy on Easter morning?
