Summer: day 1

Summer bucket list item:  Make swimsuits for the girls.  BAM!  Done on the first day of the season.  I'v always wanted to make suits for them, but was leery of lycra.  Instead of getting a proper pattern, I winged this with my tried and true (actually "hit and miss") trace-existing-clothes method.  Some areas need to be revised for bunchiness, particularly the rear.  
Since I am too lazy to convert my serger from overlock to coverstitch, the topstitching is 3-step zig zag.  

Also got 6 quarts of strawberries jammed.

You continue to amaze me. (Is this the 10th or 11th time I've posted this comment?) So proud of you, Beck.
