Sew4Fun 3/23/09Nice rashy. This is the pattern I use for all mine too. Btw many swimwear lycras have more stretch on the lengthwise grain so that's why the pattern is laid out this way, that's all. If yours had equal stretch it can be cut either way saving fabric.

MelC 3/23/09I love the way you used the solid and print together. Great job!

AnneMarie60 3/23/09Your V-neck looks perfect. I love the print with the solid. I might give the pattern a whirl.

JEF 3/23/09Really nice - I love your color choice.

ApplePieMom 3/23/09I agree that your colors are great together. Nice job!

Heidi Ho 3/23/09Nice rashie, can't wait to see the rest of the suit!

LoriU 3/25/09OK I just have to ask - is a rashie what we in the states would call a t-shirt? Or is it a swimsuit coverup? Thanks for your patience!

goosegreen 3/27/09Lori, a rashie is something that one wears to stop getting sunburnt. So it's made of lycra (like a swimsuit) & you wear it in the water. These have only become "the norm" in the past 15 yrs or so now that we Aussies realise the dangers of the sun. Previously it was only children who wore them but it is becoming more common for adults to wear them too. HTH.

Stitchcakes 4/24/09Thanks for this review; I am thinking of making this for whitewater rafting as a happy medium between a swim top and a t-shirt. These are great tips!

Stargirl7 5/19/09In the states, we call a "rashie" a "rash guard". They protect you from the sun, and also from getting "road rash" from being thrown against the sand (if you're surfing).
