I love this swimsuit. I need to make one for me. In the meantime, a little person’s swimsuit has almost dissolved in the pool chlorine. This was a bathing suit emergency. Thank goodness Jalie just produced this latest pattern!
Does someone look happy? It’s because she is. Hot pink and shiny black? Sign her up! I made the swimsuit with the contrast strip (obviously). She loves it and says it looks “just like a Monster High swimsuit.”
This is the size L (for 8 year olds), but with an inch added in the torso. They are long-torsoed, these little people.
There is really good coverage all over.
This fabric did not come from the Swap Meet, gasp. I bought it in a real fabric store in San Diego.
How cute is it?? I love it! Another Jalie winner!!!!!!
The contrast stripe is cute and serves a purpose.
See? It hides the topstitching that holds down all the inside seams.
The inside is fully lined.
Here’s that topstitching from the inside.
I left the straps a bit long in the back in case I need an inch or so of growing room later.
Here you can see my CB reinforcement. I always add some zigzagging in case little people put their foot through the CB seam and pull really hard. I always reinforce the crotch panel too.
Another winner for Jalie. This, people, is why they are my favorite pattern company.
