Not Just a Sunsuit Day 7 – Not Just for Little Kids

We all know that the sizing of the Paneled Sunsuit is from newborn to 12 years, but for day seven of the “Not Just a Sunsuit” tour there are some great “older kid” looks that really show how the pattern will work for the non toddler/babies.  I had the tween agers in mind when making some of the separates options, so I love seeing them in use.


First we have Alexis from My Sweet Sunshine.  She altered the top view to make it a little more billowy and paired it with a maxi skirt for her girl.  You can see the amazing details and the changes she made here.

Kelly from Handmade Boy let her daughter choose the style she wanted, which could have been risky, but turned out excellent!  See more pics of the skirt and styling on her full post.

Karly from Paisley Roots made a fun sunsuit in some funky fabric!  Hop over to see the minor changes she made and to see how it looks paired with a jacket.

And talk about comfy!!  Kimberly from Straight Stitch Designs made the comfiest looking pair of pj pants ever.  I have some of the same stretch french terry she used so I can confirm the cozy factor.  You can see her full post here.

I'm really excited about this one! The Verdant Wi I'm really excited about this one!  The Verdant Windbreaker is ready for testing!  This 90's-esque 1/4 zip windbreaker has options for a fully lined or basic unlined pullover.  Views A and B have three zippered pockets, including the center pocket which can work as a stuff sack for the windbreaker like all the cool kids had back in the 1900s 😆  Views C and D are more of a pullover sweatshirt/fleece style without the extra bells and whistles, but all of the vibes.
My outerwear is sized 12m to 16 years and the size chart is in the form below. 
Testing will begin on Monday, the 11th of September and will end on Saturday, the 23rd of September, with a fit test (muslin or just the lining) due by Saturday, the 16th of September.

More info on the new backpack. 💕💕 She asked More info on the new backpack. 💕💕
She asked for plain black this year, so we compromised with some of the black and white crosshatch I used for the lining sprinkled around the outside. 😍😍

The black is Cuddle C3 minky from Shannon Fabrics and it’s so soft. I used sf101 interfacing to keep the pieces from stretching out too much with wear. There’s some Decovil light on the main panels for structure too. 

The crosshatch is sailcloth canvas that I had in my stash from Little Cocalico and it’s such a great fabric for bag linings. 

Pattern is the Little Lizard Kind Vada backpack, which is what I used last year and she specifically requested it for this year too.
