I hope I did this right I have never tried to post pics. I am happy to report that her team has progressed to reginals this weekend and hopefully on to nationals. I loved making her suits and will do it again.
I am 1 week into neck surgery recovery so will not be sewing for quite awhile :sad:

.
again thanks

Life is short, smile and enjoy the ride!

Wow - inspiration to any and all. If only all of us could use all the forum tips to turn out such wonderful garments!!
Wish all the girls much success. This is a challenging and fun activity/sport!

Fabulous job - and good to hear that you enjoyed making them rather than tore your hair out.

Congrats to the girls and hope you feel better soon. At least you'll be able to squash a few sewing cravings online while you recover.

Thanks for your kind words :wink:

, The girls are competing as I type, I hate missing it but know they will swim their hearts out :bg:

. I must say that I have had alot of positive response from the crowd and judges, so who knows where this might lead. I have always wanted to have my own business. I must tell you my daughter(14) designed the suit herself. I am so proud of her
I will let you know how they do
Happy Mothers Day

Life is short, smile and enjoy the ride!

WOW

To be able to take your daughter's drawing of a swimsuit and using your creativity to turn it into something real is a talent that not everyone has. :bg:
