I got to test another pattern for Peek-a-Boo Patterns. Yay! This time it was a swimsuit. I know sewing a swimsuit sounds scary, but she makes it so easy. As you know from this post, I've used one of her patterns before for a swimsuit and really liked it. This one is even easier.
I started with some super adorable fabric from Girl Charlee. I spent hours and hours trying to find the right swim fabric for inexpensive enough. Then I remembered Girl Charlee and fell in love. They have so many great fabrics for a great price. That is where I found this fabric.
Don't you just love that lace detail!
I cut into my maternity swimsuit for the black, since I didn't know what else to do with it.
I'm so glad I did. I just love the contrast of the black bows.
I made the headband using a tutorial from my favorite blog.
I love how it turned out too.
My bald, baby girl needs something up there.
I pretty much love everything about this outfit.
I hope this helps you want to overcome any fear you might have to sew a swimsuit. I'm even going to make one for me soon. Now that's scary. If you want to make your own, you can purchase the pattern here. She's even having a sale on swim patterns through June 1st, just use the code "swim20" at checkout.
