Before we get into details, let’s just make sure we are both on the same page. This listing is NOT for a finished garment, it is for a PDF file. After you purchase, you will get an Etsy link to click and download- it really is instant!
A bodysuit pattern that has a short, long, or butterfly sleeve option. Can be made with or without a crotch closure- making it perfect for all ages! Comes in sizes Preemie to 12 Years!
PLEASE NOTE- This pattern is the neckband version of our bestselling Amberly #55 bodysuit. The bodysuit has no lining, and has a band for the short and long sleeve options as well—making it so it can be 100% completed by a serger if you would like. If you want this pattern with NO neckband and a lining, please see the listing for the Amberly #55:
