Shirr Madness

Yes, I know it's nearly August...and I *should* be thinking of fall clothes. But, I still had some cute fabric left from the summer-and these bubble/sunsuits have been all over the interwebs. I have also been dying to try this shirring technique with elastic thread. It was so much fun! And such a cute result
it's the perfect outfit for gardening
okay...back to knitting (which is why I am here in the first place, right?) and thinking about the fall. Somewhat of a challenge when it's so hot out!  But if you also are in the mood to squeak out one last summer frock...here is some inspiration:

  1. I made one of these recently for a baby shower, and LOVED how quick and easy it was, and the result is adorable. Rae's tutorial is great. I love yours, especially the fabric! Did you use elastic or shirring on the legs?
