  This Bubble Romper pattern has been requested for a while by several different people, and I have finally finished it! For some reason, my brain went completely blank when I tried to figure out how to make this pattern. I finally decided to purchase an original Bubble Romper from the 80s so I could study how it was constructed. Once I had it in front of me, everything finally clicked—and I finished the pattern in no time! They turned out so cute! I had so much fun trying it out in different fabrics. I also learned something new while making these: how to join lace pieces together to create one continuous piece. I followed a YouTube video by Susan Stewart . The lace I used was purchased at Homesew, which is closed, but bulk lace can be found at Cheep Trims. The pattern can be found at cpkdiana.etsy.com .
