Keep this under your hat, but…
I am making a swim suit. We are going on a cruise next month, to see our lovely niece get married. I want, not need, a new bathing suit so decided to make one!
Problem is…
This what I am knocking off

Using this Kwiksew Pattern 3609
I however, do not look like that VS model. I look more like this…
I hear you saying “Oh Connie. That will work ..
When…
Yeah.
I know.
I’ll keep you posted!

Okay Mom – first of all we know you look nothing like that photo.
Second of all – I DEMAND you post of a photo of yourself wearing said bathing suit (which I really like btw).
Miss Connie, you’re a HOOT!! (Wouldn’t it be easier to BUY the beautiful bathing suit?? ;0 )
‘Looking forward to seeing this!! As for moi, I’ve been ALLERGIC to bathing suits all my life… Would rather swim in my original one…
Soft hug,
Rhonda in Montreal (who’s feeling better & better–Yippy!!)
ROTFLOL! I am absolutely, postively sure that you won’t look like the porkly little pig cartoon you shared with us!
I agree, you are a hoot. If it fails, there’s always Lands End for bathing suits.
I think all that ruching will be flattering. And you are definitely no porky pig!
You sure don’t look like the cartoon character! You are much more svelte like the model, Connie. I can’t wait to see the finished swimsuit. I started making a muslin last summer, but never got around to actually making wearable ones.
