I stumbled upon this post over at Sew,Mama, Sew. Which led me here. And then I followed that little bunny trail to Closet Case Files. Boy am I glad that I clicked through all of those links because this just might be my very favorite sewing project EVER!
Swimsuit fabric has been happily hanging out in my fabric stash since I went on a little Lycra binge last summer. Unfortunately I never mustered up the courage to attempt a swimsuit-- which I had planned on doing for Missy Parker. Then I found the Bombshell and I figured that I had might as well throw caution to wind and "Go big" or "Go Home!" Right? Right.
Well, lucky for me, Heather did a super-stellar job at drafting this pattern. I was shocked at how simply it came together. And when I slipped it on, it was swimwear love. Which, come on, I'm a thirty-something momma, "swimsuit" & "love" haven't been spoken in the same sentence since I was 17. I adore the throwback vintage look and ruched details are ALWAYS flattering. My favorite thing/s about this suit is the ruching up the center back AND how the bottom comes down low and doesn't creep up {you KNOW what I mean}.
There you have it.
I foresee many of these little bathing beauties in my future!
Thank you, Heather, for one incredible pattern!!!
This is pure magic! It looks absolutely INCREDIBLE on you and I am so happy you enjoyed making it! Hearing things like that make all the tears totally worth it! ;)
ReplyDeleteAww!!! Thank you SO much, Heather! Everyone is raving about your pattern over on my Facebook page. All those tears were absolutely worth it! But for the record, I would've cried lots of tears when pattern drafting too. I almost cry when I have to grab my seam ripper. ;) Hugs! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!! {I think that a black version for my mom is next up on the list!}
DeleteYou look amazing, and well done on the swimsuit! if only I could sew a straight line... :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so so much! This was definitely a sewing "adventure" for me! 😉
DeleteThis looks amazing on you, and I love love love that you went uber short on the hair. Happy summer my friend! One day I may have to have you make me one of these items. You know, in like a year ;)
