Summer is right around the corner & the temperature outside is already there: hot & sun-filled. Dressing the kids is a challenge for many of us due to all the new hurdles surrounding what used to be basic shopping (both in-store & online), still being restricted to the house most of the time and trying to live on less income.
I've started sifting through my fabric & outgrown clothes stashes and past used pattern to get a to-do list together for sewing as much of a summer wardrobe for the kids as I can to ease things a bit. I thought a helpful start would be to compile some easy and FREE patterns available for kids of all ages, so anyone can join me in this sewing for summer effort.

Easy Any Size Baby Bubble Romper. I created this pattern with a free pdf for size 3-6 months and give step-by-step instructions for drafting any other custom size desired.
Runaround Romper for babies. This is my own pattern and it's sized for 12-24months (btw my now 27mos old still can wear it unaltered!), but can easily be tweaked to also fit 6-12 & 2T-3T.
