Off Topic Birthday leotard

[Iwannabemargo]

P&F is 10 tomorrow ( how ? She was a baby only yesterday !) So I made her a new leo for her birthday, which she had to have today as it was practice.


The only problem is I now have to make her white shorts to match !

Great job! It's cute!

 

[txgymfan]

Really cute! That would be great in all sorts of color combinations. I am so impressed with your sewing skills!

Your second picture made me LOL! Why? Because all new leos must be displayed in a handstand of course!

Oh yes, and after I took it she proceeded to say " you can take more Mummy, I can hold this for ages!"

you are so clever. I would never know that wasn't a 'big' make leotard it fits so nice.

 

[Flossyduck]

It's lovely and really suits her. There's no way I could do that!

Beautiful...I love it, great job! I just cut out pieces to make my daughter one today. I've made swimsuits before so I'm hoping it comes out ok. The applique pieces (design) are the only thing I'm really worried about messing up.

I stick my appliques down with spray glue before stitching - otherwise they slide everywhere, especially with slippy/stretchy fabrics. I am looking to get some of the applique fabric glue stick @leotardmakermum recommended as the spray glue gunks up the needle a bit.

you made that? Thats incredible! You could start a business!!

Wow! That is really amazing! Happy Birthday to your daughter

I love it. DH decreed today that you don't need more leotards than there are days in the week. Hmph.

 

[Iwannabemargo]

He knows nothing ................mwahahahhha

 

[Flossyduck]

I figured dd needed ten - a clean one for each training session plus one weeks worth in the wash. And then I got her one or two more for special occasions and a few more for emergencies

 

[Iwannabemargo]

It can become a obsession, trouble is mine does nothing else, my sister asked what she wanted and the answer was nothing, gym is the only thing.

 

[leotardmakermum]

Thanks for attributing the glue stick to me, but it must have been someone else because it isn't a product I've ever used. My technique is to sandwich between layers of tearaway.

Great job on the leo! Looks wonderful and P&F looks very happy with it. Happy birthday to her!
