Sold out....Yay!?

-
 Yesterday I bought a few more swim fabrics and in the end I was unsure about one of them. Today I received an email from the seller saying he was sold out of the one I wasn't sure about, and he refunded the extra money to me. Usually I'm not too happy when that happens. But this time, I'm rather pleased! Praise the Lord! :-)

In other news, I'm working on several sewing projects, some swimwear, some not. I found a really neat skirt idea on someone else's blog that I just had to try out. So its in pieces waiting for me to get back to it. 
 I am also working on a re-purposing project taking one of my old turtle necks and making a little outfit for Jubilee. It had a few spots on the front but was so soft and such a neat ribbed fabric that I hated to throw it away. I've been taking pictures all along the way, but that project is on hold until I get some dark grey thread. 
 Two orders for swimwear in since yesterday and I've got something else on the burner that I'll be revealing as soon as I'm close to done with it.

  So much to do and so little time! Jubilee has been making things a little difficult to accomplish. She's teething and just wants to be held. She was bored this afternoon, so my Sis took her over to Mom's house so her Uncles could entertain her. So Finally I am able to do some cleaning, and sorting through some clothes like I needed to! Oh, its been so busy! Just gotta keep trucking! 

Hope everyone has a safe and fun filled weekend!

 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
