Sewers - Need help finding pattern (NEFR)
DS is getting baptized on 9/11 and we're looking for a pattern to make him an outfit. Ideally, I'd love to find a romper with short sleeves but I'm not having any luck. I don't really want to make a sleeveless romper and be stuck trying to make or find a shirt to go with it. He's on the hefty side of a 2T.
ETA - I posted here because I lurk on a lot of the sewing related threads that pop up in EFF

Re: Sewers - Need help finding pattern (NEFR)
well this one is made from a tshirt, but maybe you could take the idea and use it towards whatever fabric you want to make it out of?

I bought it for 50 cents this week at a local store. It's a 2, 3, 4 size. It's available there, but if you'd like, I can go see if there is another one if you'd like and ship it to you.
It is awfully cute.
If he's still in 18 month sizes, there's this one too:

I found it too at the 50 cent sale, but it was the only one.

Here's a white polo at JCPenney's if you don't want to make a shirt:

This one might be the right one!

Love it! I'm going to try Joann's today and if I can't find anything there this will probably be the one I go with. Thanks so much!
Thanks. Yeah, it was a bust. I ordered the one from Etsy. I still can't believe how hard it was to track one down in a toddler size.
I think it's because sleeves are hard. Well, it's easier to do sleeveless. Let me know what you think of the pattern. I liked a few of the other patterns by that company.
Sorry Joann's was a bust.
I know you already ordered a pattern but craft gossip has some great tutorials on things for toddlers.
