I swim at the pool all year round and at the beach quite often in the warmer months. So I'm not opposed to making another suit. These are the swimsuits I have made or refashioned thus far:
A RTW refashioned swimsuit. The body was too long so I cut it to make it look like a mock tankini. Good for swimming. |
My first self-made swimsuit! Kwik Sew 2690 |
My 2nd try at Kwik Sew 2690 - Love! |
Kwik Sew 3503 - The horizontal neckline and the floral fabric makes me look wider. |
A modified Kwik Sew 2797 - My most beloved swimsuit. I wear this all the time because it's easier to get in and out with the front zipper. |
A refashioned old RTW swimsuit. Unfortunately it's still a bit loose - not practical for swimming. |
After looking at tonnes of pictures at Pinterest, I have to figure out how to choose the design of my next swimsuit to the following:
A simple tankini top with high waisted bottom?
A zip front swim vest with bottom?
A regular 2 piece bikini with a matching rashguard on top?
Or a Swimdress that can be worn as a top or a dress with a regular bottom?
What do you think? What would be a good design for my next swimsuit that I can actually swim in?
Love all your togs. That red one looks terrific on and the one with the zip on the front is really a great pair. I had a RTW ones like that and they are very practical.
ReplyDeleteThanks Summer Flies! Zip front suits are definitely really useful for quick changes. That's why I use that suit most often when swimming.
DeleteThey really look great. I like the one with the zipper up the front.
ReplyDeleteThanks Beverly! I think I'll probably make anther zip front suit.
DeleteYou have made some pretty swimsuits :) The red one looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hana Velvet Ribbon! Red is my favourite colour. I have loads of red clothing in my wardrobe.
DeleteRed suits you
DeleteThanks Sarah Liz!
DeleteMy goodness, what a great swimwear wardrobe. Well worth it given you swim frequently.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am a bit addicted to sewing swimsuits in the summer!
DeleteRed does suit you well and I like all the swimsuits you've made/re-fashioned! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! I have to see if I have enough red swimwear fabric left in my stash to make this new suit!
