Skye said... great leotards - very pretty 7/11/11 0:12 AM
Sew4Fun said... Fantastic leotards! It's so much cheaper and better to sew gymnastics leotards, isn't it? Great story about the girls too. They must look forward to seeing each other. 7/11/11 2:35 AM
Time4me said... Beautiful suits for BEAUTIFUL friends. They look like the kind of girls I would want my girls to be friends with! I think you can document your daughter's growth with this pattern over the years! 7/11/11 11:24 AM
Erin D said... The girls look great. It must be fun for them reunite and enjoy their new leotards. 7/11/11 2:31 PM

Raye Ann said... great suits! thanks for the review. i have a pattern to make for my niece, but need some correct fabric. do you have a recommendation for fabric? BTW- two of my nieces were also adopted from Russia, as are two girls on my street:) They are all as beautiful and sweet as these two friends look! 7/11/11 6:24 PM
JEF said... Thank you all for the lovely comments. It is a lot of fun making them outfits. I THINK I got the green at fabric.com and the red at Hancocks. I also really like spandex house for nicer lycra but in this case the girls chose the fabrics from my stash so this is what they got! 7/12/11 8:56 AM
Silknmore said... Both are adorable. Maybe this will inspire me to do a swimming suit or leotard - have always stayed away from them. 7/12/11 4:48 PM
Passion4Sewing said... They both look great! The fit is awesome. Do you find the other girls at practice envious their mom (friend's ,o,) can make these? 7/15/11 9:05 AM
Passion4Sewing said... JEF, I also like spandex house and theatrehouse.com. I feel like a kid in a candy shop when I go to MaryJos in Gastonia, NC. 7/15/11 9:09 AM

marjoriekh said... Really cute leotards that look like they fit very well. (I did gymnastics at that age, and would have loved a home-sewn leotard with a little extra length in it.) And how wonderful that your daughter and her friend can still get together. 8/4/11 9:47 PM
