Friday, June 22, 2007Swimsuit sewingPosted in MakingWe are off to Dollywood's Splash Country tomorrow morning so today I finally finished sewing up the kids's new swimsuits :) They are quite, quite happy with them- MJ wore her shirt until I finished the pants and then she wore both pieces until I forced her to change back into her dress so we could go to town. I used Kwiksew #2888 and it went together like nothing. I was quite pleasantly surprised. We are all pretty sun sensitive so DH really prefers more coverage for the kids than a pair of trunks or a regular swimsuit provides. These are much easier than regular swimsuits (at least for girls) since the only elastic is in the waist and it really doesn't get any stretching. Here's the best of the straight shots: ![]() And a bonus of the boys doing their best muscle man (or something) poses :D ![]() | 8 comments | Link Leave a Comment { Last Page } { Page 64 of 80 } { Next Page } |
