Hummingbird Pantsuit

Here is my recent sewing. It is the Hummingbird Pantsuit from Rabbit Rabbit Creations. Initially the BigMiss was not interested. I asked her to pick material anyway and she picked satin. SATIN! Shiny, slippery, fraying, satin.  


It was a relatively easy sew given that I was using such a tricky fabric. The only MAJOR problem was tiredness. I somehow managed to sew the bodice on lining side out. Plenty of ripping later and a quick restitch and it was done.
She loves it. Has worn it four afternoons in a row. (after sewing and after school) I would wash it but the machine has just broken and won't be fixed for a few days. Who knows maybe I can make more clothes so we can all wear new things rather than having to wash.

I doubt it.

And even though it is incomplete I will show a quick flash of the Pantsuit for the LittleMiss. Not to be outdone by her sister she has also chosen a non-cotton fabric. Although it does not slip as much, it does have some lovely pink glittery puff paint(?) on it. Scratchy. I will finish it one day.


Pattern is available here if you are interested.
