nettie ballerina

top - nettie skirt - flea market 'silver screen stars' leggings - self made
meet my first nettie! isn't she sweet?.. made her few weeks ago she was a top secret project as i was pattern tester for fabulous lady heather lou mastermind behind this pattern .. never really thought of myself as bodysuit kind of gal but, once again, i was proven wrong so expect to see at least dozen more netties coming from me .. my inspiration for this nettie: flashdance meets ballerina sort of bodysuit to be worn as a workout outfit (and help me feel a little bit girly while doing ton of push ups and punches) .. so my version is high neck and (really) low back, with short sleeves (but nettie has many other options for you to choose from including a very sexy dress variation!) i cut the size 6, graded to 8 at the hips and, for once, followed the instructions.. being a tester, i kind of had to.. they are beautifully written and well illustrated and nettie pattern is pretty much idiot proof (believe me.. for this version i used 2-way stretch instead of 4-way, that pattern calls for and my nettie still fits real well! may be a bit too tight for sit ups but i upgraded her to regular wear and she looks fabulous with skirts.. the only downside is that, since i planned to wear it as workout clothes i skipped the snaps crotch closure so it's not beer-friendly) .. are you sewing any netties? .. mokosha
