Making up Bathing Suit
Sew in loose ends, sew up sides, being careful not to go too far down the leg as the suit will be too hard to put on.
You can fancy up the bathing suit using a shell stitch around the neck or leg area.
I did some little bright buttons to put down the front using this method.

Crochet halter top and skirt for child
The crocheted halter top took me about 2 hours to make, then I nutted out a pattern for a matching skirt, which took a bit longer (if you want the pattern for the skirt let me know). Clicking on the name of this topic will take you to the blog where I found it, then that blog will take you to the original pattern designer. I used 8ply acrylic wool and a size 4.00m hook, the size I made will hopefully fit my grandaughter Bella who is turning 3.
Neck Pillow to Wheat Bag. Great for aching neck and shoulders. Crochet Pattern.
