We have just returned from our wonderful annual mother's group family holiday down the coast. It was so fantastic :) The night before we left I decided to make a swimming costume for Zippi (as you do... lol) but she had already gone to bed. I used material I had bought from Kaz :)
So i just kind of guessed,
sketched up a rough design and just went for it.

Here's how it turned out....front (with a little frill even!)
and the back (I used FOE for the straps - just happened to have a matching colour in my stash from when I ordered supplies for my mcn's which are still unmade!)
And Zippi loving up the sand...
is there anything sweeter than chubby little toes squelching in the sand...
I did check out these tips first before I began sewing which I found helpful.
I have heaps more to post but the kids have all woken up just now so it will have to wait till later :) Hope you had a tops weekend too!

So adorable - how did you find working with the lycra?
Hi Sarah Lou! Thanks for your comment. I found the Lycra pretty easy to work with but did use a 'Jersey' ballpoint needle for it. I didn't have any trouble with it but a while ago i tried sewing up some stretch knit fabric and the needle broke :( Jersey is the way to go i reckon!
thanks girls for your comments too!
love lusi x
