If, my previous post on Crochet Shorts for men tickled your fancy, then this crochet Body suit would take it even further.
Described by the same Etsy artist who brought you those shorts, this body suit:
“Body-suit, jump-suit, “ONESIE”–call it what you will, this is a full body sweater made from recycled vintage crochets and custom fit to your body!!!”
I have several words that come to mind when I see this, none of them, polite enough to print.

It seems like there’s no end to the available options when it comes to cross stitch bookmarks, which is a good thing because they’re perennially popular to stitch as well. This time I thought I’d share some colorful cross stitch bookmarks to get you ready for the new school year or to make meeting your reading goals a little more fun.
I love these retro floral designs from The Stitch Patterns. This set of four patterns is rated as very easy, and each bookmark measures 2.5 by 6 inches (or 6.35 by 15.25 cm) on 14 count fabric.
These cute ones that look like mosaic tile would also be fun to stitch. This set includes five designs from EmbroSTyle Designs, and they call them folk art but they mostly look like old mosaics to me. Either way, the bookmarks are 25 by 101 stitches, and to stitch the full set uses 12 colors.
If you’re looking for more of a challenge, you can stitch up a work of art with this set of 16 bookmarks designed to look like famous paintings. Stitch some sunflowers or a great wave or a starry night. Most of these are between 14 and 20 colors (the great wave is only 8) and the bookmarks are totally covered with stitching at a count of 35 by 100 stitches. Grab this set from Sunset and Sea Design.
Or how about some bookmarks inspired by books (or by movies inspired by books)? This set of Lord of the Rings bookmarks includes four landmarks from the books/movies. Each one is 35 by 115 stitches and uses between 8 and 17 colors. You can find them at byCountryMagicStitch.
These don’t quite all fit the description of being colorful bookmarks to cross stitch, but a few of them do, and speaking of book-themed bookmarks I had to share this set from Mama Geek inspired by Heartstopper. There are seven designs in all that should be quite familiar to readers (or viewers of the series).
Why?
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH…no

I have a friend in fashion I will make a black one with small purple zig zags for… should you be gracious enough to share/let me buy the pattern.
all I could think of was “you better wear something under that thing or you’re gonna get chafing in places I’d rather not think about, then “whatever happened to ‘regretsy?'”
i know guys in the DesertFesty scene that would kill for that outfit!
I love this. Would love the pattern . Please
It’s my husband’s birthday and I’m trying to get someone to make this for him. It would be the gift that keeps on giving.
To me.
In laughs.
Makes Me want to learn how to crochet. My man will look hot in it
If I wore that anywhere in New Mexico, even in a Santa Fe gay bar, I wouldn’t live more than 15 seconds. And I would deserve to die. More to the point, I would want to die.
I love it..I have to admit. I would love to see tom Brady wear it
I would really love to have the pattern for this!!!
