how did your swimsuit turn out?

[gollygeeitsbee]

well heres mine
the bottoms turned out perfect
but the top i messed up on.
i used the wrong measurements after i watched the video for like the 100th time i noticed thats what i did wrong.
it fit me big.
but also that might be because i have weird breasteses as my friend said:p
i had one neon green shirt and one hot pink shirt. i used fabric paint to decorate it with little hearts and also put some glitter on the swimsuit.
it was a fun project for me :)
heres some pictures
[sorry for the bad quality all i have is my camera phone]

wow, you did a great job! i'm very very impressed.

you can make that top a little smaller by using a seam ripper to take out 2 side seams...the one furthest to the right and the one furthest to your left. make sure you undo the bottom seam a little and don't close up the "tunnel" that your strip goes threw. then, just fold it in a little more and sew another seam. takes a little time but worth it.
seriously, i've had to take out so many seams because they were wrong. but that is part of the joy of learning.

its funny cause those measurements were a little to small for me...maybe we should just trade tops!:)

thanksssssss :)
yeah i was thinking about redoing it
i still have my seam ripper from apparel class :)
so ima see how that turns out

That definitely looks well made. Good work.

If I looked sexy in a bikini, maybe I'd make myself one... :eek:

That looks great! Have you tested it in water yet?? I am curious how heavy they will be in water and how much it will stretch out, if any.

[gollygeeitsbee]

ooo i like it!!!

i'm working on my own but i had to make al lthe measurements smaller because *i'm assuming* those sizes are for more of an adult body neh? well anyways, being 13 i made the sizes smaller...
finished with the top but have yet to start the bottom!!!
