Or do you keep it square on the side opposite the center front? I'm much bustier, and so my bodice came to a very steep point, but if it's pointy how does that point attach to the straps?Erinhttp://www.greenerlivingstore.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-42487869812238298912014-04-23T00:32:26.316+01:002014-04-23T00:32:26.316+01:00Thank you for the time you put in on these tutoria...Thank you for the time you put in on these tutorials. Being able to make the pattern from my own measurements, instead of modifying an existing pattern is wonderful.

I found stuff I liked online but want to try to make it how I want it which is a tankini with boy shorts but a cute patterned fabric, we'll see if I can find one. Thank you for showing how to lay it out with measurements. Really appreciate the time you took to show us.Finley zoo crewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06996369235306127979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-73877942531167148512014-01-22T19:58:41.996+00:002014-01-22T19:58:41.996+00:00I decided to make my own bathing suit and found yo...I decided to make my own bathing suit and found your blog! I'm so excited to try this! Although it's not exactly what I want I'm sure I can figure out how to make the minor tweaks I need to!

Length and height are interchangeable (although technically your L is more correct than my H) so we're on the same page I hope :)Kitschy Coohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14498979148251880818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-74130146533897276332013-07-21T16:37:32.455+01:002013-07-21T16:37:32.455+01:00Thank u so much!

Your design is soo cute and this tutorial is amazing, thank you thank you!! <br /><br />One minor correction (I think) the straps would be "I" by 2.5, not "h". Unless I'm misunderstanding. We will see when it comes time to sew :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-74336170141273518922013-07-08T05:38:59.913+01:002013-07-08T05:38:59.913+01:00I decided a few days ago to make my own swimsuit. ...I decided a few days ago to make my own swimsuit. Even though I had decided to just wing it (which is horrible of me as I am a very amateur seamstress) I was looking up tips and advice online and stumbled across your blog post. This is almost exactly the style I was planning on, and now I am going to follow your tutorial and make a beautiful suit! I am so excited now to get started!! Thank you! Thank you!

Nothing doing :( I was thinking I would have to try and make my own from cutting up my old suits, but I would much prefer to draft my own. (Why are bathing suit patterns so hard to find!?). Hopefully I can pull it off :) Thanks again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827565948387573902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-67043091608178735832011-07-30T11:55:07.758+01:002011-07-30T11:55:07.758+01:00Sorry about that, Jos, I think they are fixed now!...Sorry about that, Jos, I think they are fixed now!Kitschy Coohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14498979148251880818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-41865692613148788742011-07-30T07:49:16.894+01:002011-07-30T07:49:16.894+01:00I would love to draw the pattern, but the pictures...I would love to draw the pattern, but the pictures are not available on flickr...Jos van KloskaCreAtief!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08229868552197793304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-67572865240512989602011-06-27T12:58:07.296+01:002011-06-27T12:58:07.296+01:00Wow, just gorgeous, I'd just pay you to make m...Wow, just gorgeous, I'd just pay you to make me one..!!!!!

I thought of you while I was working on my brother's iPad cover - you're meticulous about measurements and I'm just drawing an outline of the iPad on the fabric and freehanding stuff - ridiculous. The point is to be able to replicate it. I started measuring and writing down things because of you. Thanks for your inspiration.Dr. Fun (AKA Sister)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07332652703590699186noreply@blogger.com
