Almost 2 years ago when Presley was just 3 months young I found a sun suit at a local children's boutique, it was the first time I had seen one in person, (they are rare these days). I had to have it, I paid $50 for it and it was a size 3-6 month.... haha more like it would fit her now as she is reaching the age of 2. Anyways I ended up having buyers remorse and taking it back, I was also afraid she would grow into it during the winter months, and that would be devastating. Ever since the day I laid my eyes on that beautiful retro sun suit, I was in love. I searched online for what seems like a year with no luck. Then I decided to become a self taught seamstress, and a sun suit was on the top of my list of clothing items to make. It took me forever to find a pattern, but I finally did, the downside, it's a funky pattern and the instructions are not clear at all, also the pattern is made for only 3 sizes, so now I need to figure out how to make more sizes, remember I am just a beginner.
What do you think?
and for the fun part...4 layers of amazing ruffles!!!
After trying it on my gorgeous model this morning I have found a few kinks that need to be worked on. I will be working on altering this one tonight as well as altering the pattern for future reference.
I have fabric purchased and on my shelves for more of these lovelies to be offered in my Etsy Shop within the next few months. Gotta make the pattern perfect first!
