Crafty Tuesday, again!
So, here is this week’s swimsuit. I made it on Sunday night. It felt good to get crafting again. I haven’t really done much at all in the past few weeks. I was asked if I had a tutorial on making a swimsuit and I don’t right now. Hopefully I will find some time this summer, but the next few weeks are pretty much full up.
This suit is another one I drew up. I tried to make the bottoms so they fit her better, but I think they need a bit more ease. My plan was to have the “3” be on the center of her bottom, but the cut of the fabric wasn’t going to let me do that. Darn it! The top is a halter top with a tie across the middle back. I was going to use swimsuit hooks, but the fabric needed to be wider. Next time I will make sure to do that. Hopefully she will be able to wear some of these next summer, too. 🙂
Notice how well she stood still for me? Yes, I do get blurry pictures, too. 😉
The next item is a baby blanket I made for a neighbor. They had girl #2/ kid #3 this May. Of course, I am behind in getting this done – I’m perpetually behind over here. The pink is a wonderfully soft minkee fabric that you just want to curl up with, and the other side a cotton batik print with a metallic gold running through it. As Anya said, “Pretty!”
This week I have to make:
- 4th of July outfits for Kai and Anya
- Show jacket/shirt for my sister
Wish me luck! I’m gonna need it!
Love those photos of Anya in her suit. She’s such a model!
You do such great work.
oh my! I love her model poses!! SO cute!!!
Cute suit and an adorable model! She sure has some energy, eh? 😉
What a cute suit!! (And those poses are awesome!) 🙂
Such a cute suit! Love Anya’s little pose!
A. knows how to work it! It is an adorable suit! I really like it. And that blanket…I bet that becomes a “lovey” for sure! Good luck getting the rest of your stuff done – I can’t wait to see it next week.
I so wish I could sew. You have so many fun talents. I can’t wait to see the other stuff you are working on.
LOVE LOVE the swim suit.
Love the “3” on the suit, too cute! You have such an eye for good fabric combos.
You are such a talented lady! Very nice….
You are so super talented! I love the combo of stripes and flowers…perfect!
LOVE the swimsuit! And yes, quite a little model. I like the dark pink side of the blanket too. Its a beautiful pattern.
Ha – if you call that blurry!? My blurry could beat up your blurry anyday.
Seriously, you are way talented with being able to make that swimsuit – that is so stinking adorable!
Honesty, how DO you have the time to do all that? Amazing really! And such beautiful work. I love Anya’s first pose! Very supermodel! 🙂
Loving the poses, too–she is a natural! The suit is gorgeous, I think you are on to something there, lady!
I am equally impressed and jealous. You cook, sew and take fabulous pictures! All the same loves of mine – besides the kids course. I especially love to cook and sew for the kids and take pics OF the kids!
The swimsuit is super cute. I love the “3”. And of course she’s not going to stand still, she’s too excited! 🙂
Awesome swimsuit Stacy!!
The blankie is really sweet too – I think I’m going to make a minky for myself, it’s truly the best feeling fabric out there! 🙂
my best friends daughter is 8 months old, and I still haven’t finished her “memory quilt” I promised from her baby shower. I guess it’s going to be a 1st birthday present.
**the shame**
