HELLO FRIENDS! :D So after the 'nado, it became pretty clear that I needed to take a hot minute and regroup. I had a few mini mental breakdowns following the tornado. It's a difficult thing, as it turns out, to make it out of something like that unscathed - but to see on a daily basis the devastation that missed us by yards. It's the definition of bittersweet. I just needed to slow down and go on auto-pilot for a little while. I allowed the breakdowns to come and go as they pleased, and I am happy to report that things are better now. It takes me a while to process things in general anyway, but this... This was a biggun'. We stayed at my parents house for the first several days. They were running on a generator and my sweet mother said "hey, why don't you go home and get your sewing machine?". YESSSS! So I did, and I chose to make the happiest, sun-shiniest thing I possibly could. Enter the Sunshine Sunsuit:
 |
| Here's the back! Bow Butt! :D |
 |
| The front - so simple and classic. |
Here is the pattern... It's from 1945, and it's probably my most dear pattern. I'm glad I made it when I did - it oozes happiness. :)
 |
| SwoooOOon |
 |
| Two rows of top stitching - my new go-to awesomeness. |
 |
| I added those belt loops... Definitely needed them! |
 |
| My first-ever facing! I avoided them like the plague (why?!), but now I want to face EVERYTHINNNNNG! |
 |
| I didn't bring my serger to my moms (ha, can you imagine!? "Hey, unplug the fridge so I can SERGE!" ;), so I finished the facing with my regular overlock stitch on my sewing machine. Plenty good enough :) |
 |
| Can you stand the level of cute this thing is!? I can't. |
I haven't had a chance to get pics of Her Nibs in it yet... The weather's been unworthy of this little gem. I probably have a chance for pics today though! Woo!
*See the Sunsuit on Emmy HERE!* So yall can consider me back in action! I have more things to show you soon - I've been a'sewin'! :D Missed you guys :)
