Plumber Polo

Having been around the block a few times in the custom fabric world, I don't lose my mind at *every* Mario print - especially not the ones from overseas hosts - but one look at this rainbow lovely, and I knew I had fallen. I bought this for my son and my nephew, but it's my nephew who's been growing out of his clothes like crazy.

This is another iteration of the Brindille & Twig Polo Romper. There's not a "polo line" per se on the pattern - I just measured my nephew and hemmed accordingly - and I ignored the size chart entirely. Instead, stuck my ruler directly on the pattern, and planned for an inch or two of ease around the chest area. I must admit, B&T patterns have driven me crazy in the past, but with those workarounds I was incredibly pleased with the result.

I can't believe how fast time goes - my nephew just started walking - but I'm glad that at every stage, I'm able to supply him with a fun custom bit of clothing (or two).
