Today we will be assembling our bodice and our strap pieces!

Day 2: Let's cut our awesome fabric choices according to our pattern pieces and measurement chart!

You will have 2 main, 2 lining, 2 romper bottoms, 2 strap pieces (remember for mine I used picot edged bias tape - yours will look different if using fabric), 2 crotch pieces for snap tape (not shown), and 2 flutter fabric strips if you chose to do flutters. Be sure to snag your elastic for the back/legs and also your snap tape if you're using it (not shown).

Follow steps on pages 10 - 13 for your straps, flutter OR plain! This little tool above sure is handy!

Aren't they adorable???

Now let's follow the instructions on pages 14 - 17 to put one bodice piece together.

Once you've completed those steps on the first bodice piece complete page 18 to assemble the straps to the other side of the bodice.

Look at how good this is coming along! Now onto pages 19 - 20!

Here's what your wonderful romper will look like once you've completed the previous steps. I'm dying from cuteness overload, aren't you??

That's it for today, ladies! Don't forget to post your beautiful designs as we Sew-A-Long our sweet little Shortcake rompers!
