My makes of 2018, spread out over 9 blog posts. This is blog 4, with photos.
Swimmers and matching rashie
2018-01-27: Finally made an improved bikini top, after I’ve gone through the entire process in my mind like 4 times. I love the fit of the #MarilynBikini by @wardrobebyme01, but the instructions seem to be designed to maximise the visible stitching, instead of making use of the lining to hide it.
My version now has a minimum amount of zigzag stitching and halfway through I discovered a beautiful wavy zigzag on my trusty sewing machine. #winning#swimming #sewherenow
2018-02-03: I promised @corriedekleermaekersome action shots from last week’s bikini and rashie. Since we didn’t make it to Straddie, we had to improvise a bit. Rainy and cold, just like a good summer’s day in NL, right?
Apologies for the overkill, I did add the classic teapot pose just for kicks.
2018-02-25: Added thumb cuffs and a pocket, and tightened the fit at the arms and sides. It’s hard to see in the photos (left is before), but it went from slouchy active wear to tight rashie.
