Is it weird to sew your own swimsuit? Part of me thinks it’s
awesome but another part of me wonders if it’s up there with spinning your
dog’s hair into yarn – the kind of thing that other crafters are okay with but
nets you weird looks from the muggles. Either way, I am now the proud owner of
a really rockin’ swimsuit.
This is the Bombshell swimsuit from Closet Case patterns,
view A. The goal of sewing this was to get more comfortable with sewing
stretchy/knit fabrics and I think I’m off to a good start. The sewing itself
went very well except for the fact that I had to rip out the elastic at the
neckline about 5 times (grumble, grumble).
Now that I’ve got a sense of what it’s like to sew with
knits, expect to see more of them on my blog as I work to improve my skill.
Next up, I think, will be Colette Moneta.
