Been at the beach!

 

Back to craftiness soon!  :D

 

I have upholstered my daughter.

Doesn't she look like a 1970's settee?

I'm glad I ultimately opted against the protective plastic though.  :D

Anyhow!  Here's another vintage sunsuit from the coleccion!

It was 90+ degrees out... She was in no mood for a photo shoot.



No.  Mood.



Here's the pattern!  It's from 1977 - fitting :)



I sewed View 1, sans pockets, and I went with grosgrain ribbon for the halter instead of self-fabric.  I wanted a really flowy, exaggerated bow in the back, as per usual, and I thought ribbon would work better for that.  Score.

Trying to pick which rock to eat...



That one, I guess.  :P





Weeds almost the height of baby = fail.





A SUDDEN HIGH-SPEED CHASE!!



Weapons!



"Emmy, please don't off the puppy..." = ^^ this face.



Ready!..... Aim!.........



"Aw, c'mon you guys..."



 :D

Emmys BeachTACULAR!

We love you all!  Happy Summer!

HotDAMN!

 Happy 5th of July everyone!  I hope you all had an excellent weekend!  We sure did - Emmy went to the beach for the very first time, and ate her weight in Fish 'n Chips.  Ha!  Beach pictures forthcoming... But I just wanted pop in and give a HUGE thank you to the amazing blogs who featured the Sunshine Sunsuit!  There are FOUR of them!  :D   Check these blogs out, if you haven't already!  I ♥ them. :)  

  

 I hope yall won't take this as bragging... I don't ever post when I've been featured, and now you get all this up in your face.  lol :D It's just that this little number means so much to me.  I've never put more care or love into something I've made than this sunsuit for Emmy - and I'll never forget the where, when and why's of making it.So the fact that others are lovin' on it too - that feels good :) 

  We thank you!
