Day 13 and I feel like I’m over the mountain and on the home stretch. Exciting!Â
I’ve used my overlocker and also a zig zag stitch to apply the swimwear elastic.Â

This is a quick little step but an exciting one! The underwire going in is what really gives the bra it's proper shape.
Have you gone for an underwired or non-underwired bra?

Midday on Day 8 of the swimwear sewalong and my bikini top is actually starting to look like something!
I've assembled the frame and even inserted the cups. This stage is always so exciting - seeing all the little pieces turning into an actual garment.

Day two of the swimwear sewalong and I've managed to cut out my bikini top and bottoms.
How are you getting on with your swimwear sewing? Have you made it to the cutting out stage or maybe you have powered on to sewing? When all laid out it always looks like so many pieces to work with but I find it so satisfying that swimwear (and lingerie) can be made with so little fabric.
