Okay, so there are some issues. The box shape, shoddy handwork on the skirt, unfinished hems and weird button placement. But, this is just my Muslin "OhdearlordjustgetitfinishedbecauseIcan'twearitinpublicanyway" kind of thing. Viola! My vintage playsuit set put together from three seperate patterns.

Ok, currently Stephanie Lynn is hosting a Play Suit Sew-a-long: Click Me To Be Transported to Play Suit Awesomeness!! I am inspired by her but hesitant to join on account of, well, whenever I join something I NEVER do it. Coughcough. Ahem.  So I decided to make a few pieces using some Mccalls patterns and maybe, possibly, come out with a Summer Vacation Playsuit collection.  Maybe.  Anywho, the first pattern I made is this:  McCalls 6969                                          Jumpsuit/Sunsuit/playsuit.... similar, no?  And mine:  The fabric is an ADORABLE garden inspired bit I picked up at Goodwill, a cotton Im pretty sure. And a few of the top which is just adorable:   I have had to come to terms with my size and shape (Apple, by the by, is not a fun fruit to resemble) and am trying to be more realistic in my sewing. I've got like this weird stubbornness/delusion and have refused to cut out anything other than an 18. Thing
