I just finished the 3rd of the bathing suit cover ups for 3 of my granddaughters. Overall I'm happy with them. The one I made for the 2 yr old is my least favorite. I didn't get enough gathers in the skirt. I used Tee shirt patterns and added a skirt. I bound the necklines and armholes with foldover elastic. I put that on with a bias binding foot. The bottom of the skirts I finished with a lettuce stitch on the serger, using a bright pink woolly nylon in the loopers. If my daughter takes pictures with her digital I'll post pictures, no guarantees on that though. As a result of making these I decided to order a gathering foot from the dealer I got the serger from. I hate gathering. I find it far more difficult than it should be. Juno
