MMM, Day 7

Today was just a hanging around the house day, so I wore one of my favorite comfy outfits.  The top is from the pre-blog days, and is a copy of one of my favorite RTW tees, made of a yummy soft cotton/lycra jersey.  It was a lone bolt at Hancock over a year ago.  I wish I could find some more of this stuff!!  It is the perfect weight and stretch for tee shirts.  The pants are based loosely on Butterick 3460.
It's been sweltering these last few days, so we started the morning in the water.  I haven't made the kids swimsuits, per se, but we found some things that are working just fine.
Logan helped fill the pool in New Look 6641 that I jazzed up with a freezer paper stencil paint job.  The jam on his face is homemade too, but made by my sister.
Myra is wearing an outfit that was originally designed as a dress and bloomers, but I think works great as a swim outfit.  I think I'll make a set in actual swim fabric for her.  It's so cute!
