I am absolutely in love with the Tropical Carmen p

I am absolutely in love with the Tropical Carmen print from @fabricgodmother And when I found out it was made from a viscose-linen blend, I knew I had to snag some for myself.

The viscose-linen mix is hands down my favorite fabric from Fabric Godmother. It’s got all the perks of linen; strong, breathable, and a joy to sew, plus the lovely drape of viscose. The best part? It hardly creases, which is a huge win!

I could already picture this fabric turning into an adorable co-ord set, and I had just the right patterns in mind!

I went with the @helens__closet Gilbert top in size M, choosing to size up for that comfy, oversized vibe. I also tweaked the side seams a bit to give it a more relaxed fit.

For the bottoms, I made the @spaghetti_western_sewing Willa shorts. I’ve used this pattern before but never got around to sharing them; even though I wore them constantly last summer! For my next pair, I might lengthen them just a bit.

I’m so thrilled with how this set turned out, and I can’t wait for some sunny days so I can show it off!

Here are a few more pictures of the swimsuit I mad

Here are a few more pictures of the swimsuit I made last year!

Now that the weather is warming up, I can’t wait to go to Worthing Beach and wear it in the chilly British sea. IMaking this swimsuit was quite a challenge for me, but I still have plenty of fabric left, so I'm thinking about giving the Bikini version of the Cottesloe a try! I just love that high-waisted style.

Has anyone else made it? I'd love to hear any tips or advice you might have!

I made a swimsuit! Actually about a year ago I mad

I made a swimsuit! Actually about a year ago I made a swimsuit, but of course I never shared it!

I’ve never purchased a fabric so quickly as this beautiful deadstock liberty swimwear, the oranges and lemons print had my name all over it!

I chose the @megannielsenpatterns Cottesloe swimsuit and I love the classic simple style of it. I’ve never made a swimsuit before and honestly it was a pain! My machine hated sewing with this fabric and it was so hit and miss. When attaching the elastic it would sew perfectly for 10cm and then skip a load of stitches. This was part user error, if you’re sewing swimwear definitely do a lot of test stitches and practice each step.

But, I got there in the end, and look at how nice it looks, and you can hardly notice the slipped stitches!

Does anyone have any advice for my next swimwear project?

Can I get a little commotion for the back!

I’m absolutely loving the fit of these dungarees! They have a beautiful wide straight leg, and the drawstring gives my waist just the right shape. Plus, they sit at the perfect high rise for me!

One option for the pattern is to add elastic sections to the back straps. I would definitely do this, as it really helps with bending and squatting.
