I only taught myself how to sew about 4 years ago. I still don't sew anything that requires a zipper............ lol So, I've made a few things following a pattern: purses, child's dress, pajama bottoms, etc. I'm what you'd call a beginner/intermediate sewer. Is this pattern easy enough that someone like me can follow it? I'm very intrigued...I'd love to make my own suit. it's pretty easy to follow. It is a digital pattern that you need to download, print then tape together (very easy to do) The toughest part is just adding in elastic |

I love it! And you look adorable in it!
In HS, I tried to make my own bikini. Small on the bottom, blessed on the top. It did not end well. Lol

Wow, you are a professional seamstress! I loooooove the green and yellow paisley print. Nothing like custom made clothes - or swimsuits - to made a girl look fabulous. You rock! I only taught myself how to sew about 4 years ago. I still don't sew anything that requires a zipper............ lol Zippers aren't so bad. Make some zipper pouches to get the hang of them. now, stretchy swim suit material? Hell to the no will I sew that! Lol. Or tee shirt fabrics, or knits of any sort.  |

I've made a few zippered pouches, but not really clothes with a zipper (once I did, but it was wavy) Here's all my stretchy knit stuff I sew |

If I make a suit will it make me look this good?
You are adorable and the suits are nice too. Love the ruched bottoms.

Wow! That suit looks great on you. I looked at your pinterest board too. Love them all, but really liked the chevron dress and gray houndstooth. Amazing stuff! Do people ask you all time where you get your clothes?

I am seriously impressed. I have some basic sewing skills and a decent enough machine. I was in a fabric store yesterday buying material for a valance. There is a lot of cute fabric out there. Between that visit and your post, I think I'm going to have to start finding a few more things to sew.

That is a seriously cute bathing suit. It looks practical enough to swim laps in too. I love the rouching on the bottom of the green/pink set. I would like to see that one on too.
