Pattern with more than 5 reviews! << Previous Review Next Review >> | Reader Comments | | mendospot | 6/9/07 | Oh, there was a time when I would have worn that. Soooo cute! | | * * * | | Cristina_TC | 6/9/07 | How beautiful! Compliments! | | * * * | | fuzzygalore | 6/9/07 | Very cute, and you're right it's an excellent option to have a practically no-sew version to encourage the young :-). Swimsuits are almost always cut 'sideways' since stretch usually is along the length, and stretch in this case must go around the body. It's ok, it usually saves fabric :-). And you really should use a ballpoint needle with these fabrics - I can testify that if you don't you'll pretty quickly get runs in the fabric everywhere it's been punctured by the needle :-(. But don't worry, it'll last long enough for her to want another and get to it.. | | * * * | | LauraAnn12 | 6/9/07 | hiya fuzzy~ I did use a ball point needle! I used the appropriate needles in both my serger and my regular machine. I wasn't sure how the needle would work with the weird elastic, but it did just fine. Maybe clear elastic isn't meant to be sewn at all, just encased? I tested it afterwards, and she practicaly hasn't even taken it off....the elastic didn't rip where it was sewn! Mysteries.... :) | | * * * | | jessika | 6/9/07 | Very cute and what a great style. She looks very pleased. Wow mom you pleased a teen. | | * * * | | Leslie in NZ | 6/9/07 | What a great swim suit. I have a teenage daughter also, but have been intimidated by swim suit patterns. This one looks doable, though. Thanks for the review. | | * * * | | thumperlove | 6/9/07 | I never noticed this pattern before and will have to pick it up. My DD is bugging me to make her a swimsuit, but honestly, I'm slightly intimidated. This sounds like a great place to start. Thanks for the review. The suit is adorable.
