It was a long time ago though, I should try again.<br /><br />Maybe we should have a swimwear sew-along?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04240613771053698106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885942315861596737.post-7659978142058973712012-08-25T09:17:44.597+10:002012-08-25T09:17:44.597+10:00I think that they look VERY cute!

The bathers fabric is already cut smaller than the body, so the elastic will be smaller than the body even if it isn't much smaller than the opening. I've got a couple of pairs of bathers that are complete wadders thornberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503174766017894067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885942315861596737.post-33115909592786407832012-08-25T07:41:03.462+10:002012-08-25T07:41:03.462+10:00The swimsuit is darling!

I love the color and the little bow on the front is so sweet.:) Not sure what the formula would be for elastic but I have found the lengths on the Kwik Sew patterns to be spot on for my kids. And I like how KS has you apply the leg elastic flat in the front and then stretched for the back of the leg. It prevents the dreaded wedgie!lol Thanks for the shoutout.:)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538128071032666452noreply@blogger.com
