Modest Nursing Suit
I have been waiting a long time to announce this new design and I'm proud to announce that its finally here! This past February my family and I were going to a water park and I needed something to swim in that would allow me to nurse baby girl who was at the time 4mo old. It took me 3 failed attempts and finally success on the 4th try!

The suit consists of two separate pieces. The top has a nursing panel with elastic at the under bust and an under layer that can be pulled down to nurse baby. It was made extra long with scrunch ties in the sides to give it a rippling effect. The idea behind this was that it would hide my left over baby belly. It worked really well! I was so pleased! 

The bottoms are one piece, skirt and pants together on a 3/4 inch elastic waist band. Great for easy on and off. The suit is fashionable, modest, and you can feed baby in it! I have made 3 so far, two for me, and one for a lady who is doing the review! Caroline at The Modest Mom is reviewing the suit and she will be hosting a giveaway also!

    Hi! I found your blog through the review on Modest Mom. :-) I love this new nursing swimsuit! I do not have a nursing baby right now (I have a 5 year old and 2 year old) but we hope to have more babies in the near future, so I would love to win this suit in the Modest Mom's giveaway. ;-) If not, I will save up and buy one.

    This swimsuit is awesome! I am a nursing mom who has spent hours looking for something modest and breastfeeding friendly in the stores. But it just is not there. You have really done an awesome job designing this suit!

 This is a series of posts I'm doing on the different "Styles" of modest swimwear I've made in the past and in the present. This post in particular is on the Women's Ice Skater Suit. A post on the girl's will follow this one.  Women's Ice Skater Suit At one point this was the new 'in' thing. And well, it never really went out of style, its still really popular. A fitted bodice with a drop scoop waist. Attached to an a-line skirt which is very flattering and has such flair! The spandex pants beneath are separate and have an elastic waist band. Pictures below are in order from newest to oldest. I have many of these so I'm just choosing a few. Enjoy!      Boat lounging Anna Skurfing behind the boat Me water skiing I don't know what it is about this photo, but its awesome :-)  Stay tuned for the Girl's Ice Skater Sui...

Training Pants (tutorial)

When I started potty training my nearly 2 year old, I went in search of training panties. I had been using cloth diapers before hand, and had tried using those for starters but they didn't work too well for potty training. I'd heard of the plastic covers and such, or trainers that had a layer of PUL in them. But I really didn't want those; I was in search of the old fashioned kind, like the Gerber ones that were made from white cloth and didn't have a plastic lining. Turns out, they're no longer just in white, but come in various prints and can be found at Walmart. That's where I found the ones I bought. They ran about $9.00 for 3 pair. My first thought was that I could make them rather than buy them. I searched for a pattern and tutorial online. I found both, but in separate locations. The first thing I saw was this tutorial over at Lemonwood Clock . Then I followed the link in her tutorial to another post by the  The Mom Road  where I found a printable patter...

Types of Swimwear Fabric

First off I have to tell you, I am very picky about quality in swimwear fabric. How it feels, stretches, even what color it is on the back. (imagine that) I'll explain that a little later...  Now I can't always remember which technical names I'm looking for when I'm searching swimwear fabric on the internet, but I've got to be sure I'm looking at the right thing. Its not like I can touch it and immediately know that I've got the right stuff. I know words like nylon, spandex, lycra, and polyester, and even cotton are thrown around. I know enough to stay away from anything that says cotton-lycra on the label. When I was growing up swimwear fabric was simply called LYCRA.  But these days so much clothing is made from stretch fabrics and the word LYCRA is in everything stretchy. Knits have LYCRA in them, but they're not for swimming, they're for stretchy t-shirts, leggings, etc. I found these helpful little notes on ehow, while I was searching for a li...
