jennxlynch said... Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I'm glad I spent all that time on the suit especially since I've got such crazy size differences between top, middle, and bottom. I couldn't even gear up for the shopping trip this year.
I've got the bug now and I can't wait to make some more. We have a big two week lakeside vacation coming up in June. 5/10/12 12:07 PM

SavageCoco said... Really well done! Did you cut the powernet in a smaller size and stretch it to fit? 5/11/12 1:15 PM
jennxlynch said... fuzzygalore - Thanks for the tip I will try that next time!
SavageCoco- No I cut it the same size as the shell fabric. The pattern is designed to really stretch to fit and since the powernet does not have the same stretch as the shell fabric it kind of works as if I had cut it smaller. Does that make sense? 5/12/12 5:10 PM
Very nice!
