Sailor Playsuit

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.
