This is my latest project.
Making a sunsuit for Lilly.
I wanted to have some embroidery fun!
I used a white cotton pima Pique fabric for the Yoke, and added a cute little girlie chick!
I also used an underlining from a pima batiste so the embroidery would show up better.
The design came from my Jeannie B Embroidery Book.
I used Floche for the thread and stitched the Chick using Shadow Embroidery. The legs and beak are a stranded floss. All else is Floche.
This is the old, old pattern I used....from when my own grown children were little.
The fabric for the Sunsuit is yellow Seersucker.
Very summery.
I stitched white rick rack on the shoulder straps to make it just that much cuter!!
I am sitting here in South Louisiana hoping both Hurricanes that are heading toward our coast....somehow miss me!!
Stay safe out in that crazy world :)
For the wicked boasts of his hearts desire,
And the greedy man curses and spurns the Lord.
The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance,
All his thoughts are, "There is no God"
Psalm10:3,4

Jeannie I love the sunsuit. How are you and your family? Do you still have Strider?
Hi Sherry, I'm fine and Strider is doing great! J
This is so sweet and so reminiscent of sundresses and sunsuits from a similar pattern way back in the 80s for my daughters and then for my granddaughters more recently. One of my favorite styles!
As always Jeannie a work of perfection and beauty. I just love the old patterns. Hope you are ok, not sure if the storm was near you or not, but was thinking of you and hope that you are all safe and sound.
