A Sun Suit with a Not-So-Sunny Disposition
When I was small (and I mean as a child not before I was 8 months along) I used to wear terry cloth sun suits. And because I'm always having my kids try out things I loved as a child I made Grace some of the same sun suits. Grace has gotten quite a bit of use out of this one. She calls it her "sun-swim-suit".

We’re Bringing Back the Skort!!!
Awhile back Elizabeth and I were talking and she mentioned that we should bring back the skort. The very next day I decided that not only did I want to make a skort but I wanted to make a jumper skort and cut out this outfit for Gracie. I used a 1970's baby boy jumper pattern and then added in the skort and ties. Because it was a boy's pattern I went with some retro boy's fabric and then added some vintage buttons.
