The simple charm, and how quick it worked up. Fabric used
The playsuit was sewn in quilters cotton, the cover-up was sewn with cotton velour. Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
The playsuit:
-added two inches to the length, at the chest
-used twill tape instead of bias tape for the snap facings on the crotch
-didn't use the applique
-took ten inches off the elastic recommendation for each leg

The cover-up:

Both pieces turned out adorable! Dd definitely needs more of the playsuit this summer, and the cover-up may be the cutest ever.
