The Paneled Sunsuit “It’s not Just a Sunsuit” Blog Tour

Hello,

I am excited to be able to join a fun blog tour today! This time I get to mash up and play around with The Paneled Sunsuit by  Call Ajaire . Oh Ladies, seriously you could make a new outfit everyday for a month and never look the same with this pattern. Thats how many option are included! What’s also great is it comes in a LARGE size range, newborn to 12yrs.

I mentioned this on my last Blog post that I have been letting my daughter pick out the fabric and pattern for each Blog Tour I do. So with this one I let her pick out the Fabric and together we decided on how to play with the Paneled Sunsuit. She wanted a maxi skirt after seeing several from Jak& Pepper and also from a few maxi skirts that I have from Abercrombie & Fitch. I choose to pair the skirt with a cropped , blousy version of the Sunsuit Top.

Here is what I did for the skirt:

• Individual Maxi Skirt with elastic waistband
• Made a size 10 but a 12 length so she could wear it over her waist to cover her tummy
• Cutting- I cut the skirt wider then the pattern piece for both front and back (see picture below).
• Flared the skirt out at the same point as the pattern piece
• Finished look was a tulip shape

   

Here is what I did for the Top

• Individual Top
• Made a size 10 overall
• When cutting, I cut the top wider – 3″ wider, at the hem,  then the original pattern piece
• I am also cut the hem at a straight line (see pic below)
• I only used the front and back pattern pieces, no liner
• Used bias tape around armhole- Facing method
• Cut 2 Top Front and Back and sandwiched the strap between the two.
• Straps tie at shoulder
• Added trim-fringe Fun!!!
