The sunnysuit is finally finished. I'm the slowest sewer ever. It was started before Christmas! It's not perfect, but not terrible for my first try at sewing something bigger than a dress for a 5'' doll. The buttonholes were traumatic for me. On the bib you can see that one buttonhole is slightly higher than the other. I
briefly thought about ripping one out and repositioning it, but after studying the dense, minuscule stitches I realized ain't nobody got time for that. So it stayed put. And it drives me NUTS.
This is the base pattern. I added the Madeira appliqué and the embroidery. Hopefull I'll have some time to finish my version of the pattern soon so I can post it here (for free of course!).
*The base pattern was printed in 1936 and was never filed with the US copyright office. It is in the public domain.
