You're thinking this pattern rings a bell; you're right. This isn't my first bodysuit, in actual fact I think this is the sixth time I've made one of the variations of this pattern.
I had some of this burgundy rib fabric left after my Eilidh dress, it's sooo comfy and stretchy and soft against the skin. The bodysuit pattern doesn't really require a lot of fabic, especially if you opt for short sleeves. It made sense to whizz together a tried and tested pattern with the fabric I had left!
I had some burgundy picot elastic I'd actually ordered by accident a while ago, so this finally came in for finishing the leg holes! Is there anything more satifying than finishing edges with pretty elastic and a zig zag stitch? I didn't apply to much pressure on the elastic, just stitched round keeping it taught but not stretched if that makes sense? I wanted the elastic to grip the body but not dig in at all.
The neckband was the final and also the riskiest stage. I think it could have gone on neater if I'd used an overlocker I think but would have also run the risk of stretching the neckline out as the headhole was so prone to stretching!
