Prairie's Butterfly Swimsuit

My 4th complete sewing project for 2009!




This is another prep for Puerto Rico trip sewing project. Prairie has one swimsuit (that was Autumn's) that is a little too large, and two swimsuits from this past summer that are too small (can we say wedgie city?). Anyway I actually started this swimsuit in July, but never put the elastic in the arm, leg, and neck holes, so I did that today, and it turned out great! If I could make Prairie one more swimsuit, I think she would be really set. Autumn has 3 swimsuits that fit right now, so I know she is good to go.

I really wanted to include this picture too. This is a swimsuit I made for Autumn when she was 9 months old to wear. So this is swimsuit fabric that I have had for about 4.5 years. Anyway this is when Prairie is a baby and she is wearing the swimsuit out of the same fabric that her new swimsuit is out of.
