FENIX ROMPER SEWING PATTERN

Pattern: Cali Faye Collection

Fabric: Cotton + Steel, Flutter – Ivory Rayon Fabric

 

Thoughts on pattern:

Oh my word, I seriously couldn’t be happier with how this turned out! Let me start by saying, this was my first time sewing for myself in almost 8 months. In that time, I have sewing evening gowns for friends, I have mended or altered, and I have made things for my kids…but nothing for me! It’s crazy how when you stop sewing for a business, suddenly life starts to creep in and I found myself away from my studio for weeks at a time. I used to not understand when people would say they didn’t have time to sew. I thought they were crazy! You make time for what is important, right? Well, I get it now, and I am sorry. But it truly was time. I missed it so much! But what to sew? I wanted something I could wear easily this Summer…enter the Fenix Romper.

I had been sitting on this Cotton + Steel rayon fabric that I purchased in Nashville last Fall, and when I stumbled across this romper pattern I knew it would be the perfect match! The Fenix Romper did not disappoint. I had no idea it would be such an easy sew, which actually made it a super enjoyable first sew for myself with such a long break.

Some things I loved about the Fenix Romper:

  1. The pattern was super easy to assemble. As much as I love puzzle pieces, I don’t love spending my free time taping together pieces of paper. This one came together quickly, which was a huge bonus.
  2. There were not one million pattern pieces! I love it when I am only dealing with 4 or 5 pattern pieces, not 10 or more! Was a total bonus in my opinion!
  3. Fantastic, clear instructions. I was not second guessing what I was doing. Was clear and concise. I didn’t have to read through loads of words to get to get to the point, and I love that.
  4. Fabulous fit. Like for real. I had to scale between 3 sizes from my chest tp my hips, but the fit was still spot on. Love that!
  5. The facing. I know that sounds silly, but so many patterns come with this complicated facing. Lordy Lord, just make it easy already. And this one was.
  6. The inner leg seam of the romper. I love how loose and flowy it is, very boho.
  7. So may compliments. Like…so many.  It may sound silly, but I forgot what it was like to wear clothing you made for yourself. I cannot count on one hand how many compliments I got while wearing this romper, including people who asked me where I bought it so that they could get one too. And this was all in under a 2 hour period! You guys, this is why we make our own clothing. The joy of making exactly what you want in fabric that you love that fits you perfectly. I mean, yessss!
  8. It has pockets. Nuff said.
  9. It took less than one day to make this from start to finish. I want to guess around 4 hours? That is pretty fantastic for women’s clothes.

Let’s just say that I love this pattern so much, I have already purchased more fabric so that I can make another Fenix romper to have in rotation for the Summer.

Techniques This Pattern Can Teach You:

  • Starts with slide adjusters
  • How to put in pockets
  • A nice, clean facing finish
  • And if you are super crafty…how to turn a dress pattern into a romper easily

*And of course other basic sewing essentials – these were simply the ones that go beyond the basics IMO.

    j’adore ce modèle. Je regarde ton blog depuis une heure et plus. Je suis totalement sous le charme. Tu m’as décidé avec ce romper et je vais commander le patron. J’espère que les explications en anglais seront accessibles pour moi.
    Merci à toi !
