MoreUpon returning from Minnesota I addressed the pile of previously cut out projects. One of them was this bodysuit. I’m actually very bummed that not only did I not finish this project sooner that I didn’t decide to make a bodysuit over a year ago. I’ve bought a couple and they don’t fit that well. […]
