Warning..... me in a bikini So I was asked to help test a new swimsuit pattern from KBSD (Bikini Basics) www.kbstitchdesigns.com/product/bikini-basics/It turned out really cute, I love it. I had been pinning this style of top for months on pinterest and when I saw the call to test, I jumped on it So, what do the peas think. Yes, I need a serious tan I'm working on another one using the same bottoms (they fit perfectly and cover most of my tramp stamp) for the top, I'm using a different pattern (you can see it here - I'm going with the long flounce in the front) www.patternsforpirates.com/product/siren-swim-top/I made another cute set of rouched side bottoms to match a VS swim top I bought. It matches perfectly now if it would only stop raining in Houston long enough for pool time. As I type this it is a downpour outside my window

You look freaking amazing!
I love the anchor bottoms! Too cute.
I have a regular machine and a tankini top that is too long. Could I hem it on my machine? If so, what stitch should I use?

I wish I looked that good in a bikini!
They look beautifully made and are very flattering, especially the cross over top of the one you are wearing.

Great job! All the suits are really cute. How nice to have bathing suits that fit perfectly!
As for the rain, we aren't getting as much as other areas (only 2" last week), but the gray skies and gloomy weather is very depressing.

I really like the cut of the top, especially the extra length on the bottom. (Bottom of the top, that is...)
And the rouched bottoms look like they will be flattering.
You're crazy talented. And you look darn good, to boot!

thanks ladies. Going to Vegas again in September and I gotta have some cute suits. I made my own last year too. I have trouble finding store bought suits that cover my big booty. I don't want crack showing... lol
