Well, after much bargaining with my kids ("No, sweetheart, fabric with the words "Babe" on it is not suitable for a 5 year old"), we brought home the fabric, some elastic and proper ball point needles. After washing and drying the fabric, I promptly filed them away neatly on my shelf. They have stayed there ever since. Summer is almost half-way through! What is wrong with me? This kind of hesitation is unusual for me... I usually happily jump into a project, and more often than not, bungle it up.
Well, it is not too late. Luckily for me, along comes the Coast-to-Coast: A Swimwear Sew-Along, brainchild of Dana of Made and Deborah of Whipstitch, to help get me started. You should go read their very funny posts! So yes, I will being sewing along with these two very talented seamstresses, and hopefully, many more of you will join us.
Oh! I nearly forgot, here's what my kids chose:
The blue one is for my 3-year-old, and the pink is for the 5-year-old.Yeah, I know, they are the same print, because whatever the 5-year-old chooses, the 3-year-old follows suit. At least this time the colors are different.
I won't be using any sewing patterns for this attempt, only because it is not that easy for me to find a good swimwear pattern (Kwik Sew, anyway) in Ottawa, Canada.
Well, this ought to be fun!!
