The hardest part about blogging...coming up with post titles.
When BK was presented with her new swimsuit, there were cries of "Where's mine??" from MG. I promised to sew one up in time for swim lessons on Thursday. True to my word, I whipped out a tankini in less than 2 hours.
On the docket next will be a swimsuit for big sis from the same pattern but in a different fabric. She's not feeling the matchy match love like the 2 little girls.:)

The pattern is a new one for me: Kwik Sew 3605
The pattern has the tankini top and bikini bottoms I sewed plus a bikini top, "boy" shorts, and a skirt. I made a size XS with no alterations. Like the other Kwik Sew swimsuit pattern I have, there are handy lines on the pattern pieces to lengthen or shorten if needed.
The fit was spot on and passed the swim lesson test!

So cute!!! I can understand big sister wanting her swimsuit to be different to her little sisters'...
ReplyDeleteKwik Sew has never steered me wrong with their swimsuit patterns. The fit is always great.
ReplyDeleteI was real happy with the other KS pattern I used and this one is just as good. Usually I won't attempt a new pattern unless the recipient is around to try the item on while it's being constructed...but I went ahead with this one and wasn't disappointed! Thanks!
