Where did the years go?

Still sizing up leotards, only this time for Jess and her friend Tracy (who not only does RG, but is a NZ rep ice skater).
Size XS of this pattern was too small for Tracy, and is too long in the body for Jess but the raglan style really suits her wide shoulders. Here it is in size S, in skating format - so to speak. This is a tester waiting for Tracy to be here next to try on for size...

This one I made for one of Tamsin's favourite gym buddies - for her birthday this week. Happy 9th Birthday Elianor!!

We spent time at Mission Bay with Elianor and her mum (one of my favourite gym buddies, lol) yesterday. The leo looked really cute on Elianor, yay!

This one

Amazing what fabrics can be found at Spotlight...

Tink says this one is really comfortable and fits the way she likes. I think it will do for training leos, so will stick with this pattern.

Sizing it up

Well, this is a size 8... consensus is that we go with this size but tighten the leg elastic and redraw the neckline and armholes to be higher. Somewhere between the 7-long and 8-narrow, I guess :)
Resizing for Jess' leos will be done with the aid of my fabulous neighbour, Clare - who is a certified expert, as Jess has grown in all directions, not just up!

No surprises here...

... it's a leotard, lol!
From the lycra stash, checking for size as Tink has grown again - but in the body for a change! This is a size 7. Feedback from gym class today tells me she needs a size 7 long or a size 8 narrow...
