Rita K Advanced Member since 9/22/05 Posts: 378	Login to reply to this post In reply to BJ1400 Like this post Date: 5/20/08 10:39 PM I'm not Big Dog but I'd be ready anytime. I've already tried putting elastic in an old suit that was unfinished. Not the best success. AND I watched a video done by Nancy Nix-Rice that made it all look very easy! I hope it just takes practice. . . . .which I'm up for. I've gone thru all my fabric & patterns, found all my books etc. The only thing I need to find is the swimsuit elastic. I'd like to get a roll of it so I'll have plenty of yards for all the practice I'm going to be doing! I have a new serger & coverstitch machine so this is a good project for me. Plus I can use the suits in the hot tub & sauna. The hot tub chemicals take a toll on suits pretty quick. How about you?

I've made the suit twice in the past and think it should be easy enough to chop off the bottom and use a bottom from another pattern to make my idea work. The idea kept me awake for an hour last night, but I have it sewn in my head now ------ Formerly sew*itch
Lucia/Lyonel Advanced Beginner TX USA Member since 8/11/06 Posts: 198	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 5/21/08 9:27 AM My gorgeous husband is in dire need of a swimsuit that doesn't reach to his knees but doesn't look like something out of the Undergear catalog (if you don't know what that is, check the website--but I wouldn't recommend it if you're at work!) So... If I can find a men's square-cut swimsuit pattern, I'm in! (I'd also love to find a two-piece pattern for my DD, who's a DDD and can't find ANYTHING in the shops to cover her frontage...)
BJ1400 Intermediate WV USA Member since 10/29/03 Posts: 2367	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 5/21/08 9:49 AM Starting in a couple of weeks works fine for me. I have my patternKS3239 I'm going to make view A top and View D bottom. I also have some fabric. And I believe I have the elastic. I think I'll go ahead & make a muslin for fit. I've never tried making a swimsuit before, so any words of advise would be quite welcome. ------ Beverly Janome Coverpro 1000CPX; Brother Serger 1034D; Kenmore 19233; Alden (early 1970's) http://bjsewmuchmore.blogspot.com

I bought my daughter a swimsuit, but she needs more than one! And I'd like to make one for myself from one of my vintage patterns! I've already made my husband several swimsuits (hot pants and a (gasp!) thong!) using patterns from the sttichboy website (may not be safe for work especially some of the links) ------ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Scooters are my bag, baby. http://vespabelle-sews.blogspot.com

I only just recently made swimsuits for all three of my daughters. I had never done a swimsuit in my life before those, and I was actually pleased with my results. I'm about to sew this tankini for myself. I'm a little nervous about this as I'll have to put cups in. Hopefully it will go well. It will be the first adult swimsuit I've attempted. I've been sick lately, so I haven't got the pattern traced out yet. I'm hoping to get it traced out in the next couple days. ------ Jennifer pyroses.blogspot.com ThinkGeek: "E-mail has been around since before computers. At first, e-mails were written on rocks and thrown at neighbors. CC-ing a rock e-mail could be dangerous for an entire village. Then, e-mails were written on paper and put in weird paper things called envelopes and the postal system delivered them. This was slow. Finally, e-mail as we know it came around."
