Ema Romper Pattern

My favorite garments for babies are overalls. Not just because they are so lovely, but also because it is the most comfy wear for baby and for the mom. Rompers don’t slip up or down and you don’t need to keep adjusting it all the time. And jersey/knit rompers are the best of all, because…
