I really like this pattern, and you're right, SO cute in velour! I've been intimidated by doing zippers in velour--any tips?

Megan-Hmm...I stablilized the zip placket to prevent too much stretch, and carefully marked the zipper where it should be meeting the seams (like the waistband here). Sewing a straight line is probably the most important, since it shows so much in the texture of the velour. Other than that, the fact that there is still some stretch helps with squishing or stretching the fabric as need be to get it aligned. By the way, IMO, simplicity is often best. I placed one side of the open zipper under the placket (fabric and zip facing up) and stitched it straight onto the garment from the right side, through all the layers. No pinning necessary; align as you go. Mark important points for the other side, stitch top down again. Stitch across the bottom.

I can't imagine that there could be anything cuter than your toddler's happy face in her new snuggly jumpsuit.

What a great look! I don't know what is more useful than a hoodies for a toddler! Ottobre has the best patterns for kids.

Adorable - I just love the expression on your daughter's face. She looks so excited about her pantsuit! (As well she should be!)
