Phew - what a crazy Mardi Gras! I have photos, i'll blog them in my next post - but for now, here is the sailor playsuit I made for the Love Boat party.
I love this playsuit so much! I used the highwaisted pants pattern from Butterick (5250) but moved the zipper to the back. I made them just below the knee too.
For the top I used old trusty - the same pattern I used for my black version and white version - but self drafted a sailor collar to fit.
**Old trusty is really just the princess seamed New Look 6567, which I fiddled with 3 times to get it to fit the way I wanted.**
The whole outit is made from navy stretch cotton sateen, with a white trim around the collar. The stars are just silver iron on motifs.
I'd still like to add some cuffs to the sleeves but I ran out of time - hopefully I can be bothered soon as I'd love to wear this to AutumnFest in Taree in a couple of weeks.

It's SO adorable. I love seeing a sailor pants outfit. I'm tired of all the wiggel dresses. This is something I could actually wear!

I love it! Super cute outfit
Super cute, and totally rockin' your curves!
Sooooo awesome.
Awesome, awesome, awesome! I want one now!
I think I may need to locate that pant's pattern just for the top portion; I am looking to make a pencil skirt bottom to a nautical themed dress, and this would work really well, I think. :)
Arggggg shiver me timbers,
