06.01.2022 So I have been playing with patterns for short jumpsuits. This has some of the indigo shibori fabric I’ve been dyeing as well as 1970’s tablecloth and denim. Compete with one of my grandmothers buttons from the tin of buttons I inherited 20years ago. Looking forward to making some more for summer. What colours would you like to see? And just two combinations? Or three in this case or just one colour?? This will fit size 12 to 16. Going to modify pattern to make bigger and smaller options.
