Introducing the swimsuit project! Just a heads up, this is not a sewing project for beginners. I've been sewing for 10 or so years now, and this was a challenge....but if you have a good understanding of your body type, find the right material, and are up for the challenge, go for it! The results are quite rewarding. Modest swimsuits are hard to come by, and while I know we each have our own definitions of what we consider a "modest" swimsuit, here's my attempt at modesty with a vintage twist. Enjoy!
For this project, I did not work from a pattern. I used the top part of a formal dress pattern combined with a basic a-line type flare. The swimsuit bottoms I bought at Goodwill, and most of the material I used is vintage swim fabric my grandmother gave me. So something old, something new...and not a penny spent :)
