nuranarI figure the Costume College "pool party," whenever that happens and whatever it looks like, would be a good excuse to make this pattern.
Inspired by Lauren's 1940 play suit, I think I want to try a feedsack print for this one. And I'm not going to gamble anything on finding lots of the same one; I'll be happy to find enough to do the top. I can do the shorts/skirt in a solid linen or linen/cotton, and trim the top with binding from it.
To my surprise, there's a lot to choose from on Etsy. I'm leaning more toward a novelty prints and geometrics florals.
