There’s the Soma swimsuit by Papercut with a variety of one piece and bikini options. Named patterns have just released the Beverly bikini, which is really cute though I’ll probably be raising the waist. There’s the much loved Bombshell swimsuit by Closet Case Files which has a high waisted bikini bottom option. I think swimwear patterns are still a relatively un-tapped niche, heads up pattern designers. What are your feels? There are a few options out there for bikini sewing patterns, but not too many. Short of starting a movement to have them banned on all major beaches in three states, he was not a fan. Personally, I do like the shape and after having kids, I feel more comfortable and secure when I’ve got from belly-button below covered but I know not everyone loves them. ![]() Apparently not, according to one male source, unusually passionate on the subject of high waist bikinis now I think about it. ![]() I’ve been pining hard for a high waisted bikini since forever ever (see evidence here). Are high waists flattering? I think so. On every other level it’s uh, not very helpful. Really, you’ll see. Way. So, I abandoned the jumpsuit, got cracking on this bikini and along with another NYE plan-less friend, rose early and had a perfectly serendipitous day of paddle-boarding, beautiful weather, delicious food and substantial feelings of smugness! That was January and I’ve been dying to share this bikini with you ever since! Though, a warning, this post should probably be treated as inspiration only. And then you’re horribly depressed and the only thing that would possibly make up for a fizzled NYE would be to welcome New Years Day via stand-up paddle board, in some killer hand-made bikini, whilst you sail past the hung-over souls, wiping sand from their eyeballs a picture of vitality and hand-made awesomeness. Until you realise that actually, as your first NYE in 5 years (longer?) sans kiddies, you over-looked the whole NYE plans part. As anyone who’s DIY inclined would know, the day before New Year’s Eve really is the perfect time to think about sewing a bad-ass printed jumpsuit for the occasion. It looks like I’m having a great time, doesn’t it? Hanging out, here, in nature, with the frogs croaking and the mosquitoes singing. I love nature, really I do…DA FUQ just touched my FOOT?!!! The things I do for you, honestly. So, no, I am not in the steamy jungles of Bali, or Ecuador, or Madagascar but I did have to brave a whole host of wildlife, including Khaki-Breasted Groundsmen (they were on the lookout for the ‘Boobie’ Warbler, I believe), at this very public city garden / pool scape. Which means getting creative with photography locations. So I just popped off to Bali for the weekend, to shoot my latest hand-make because that’s the kind of life I lead didn’t you know? Ugh…I wish! I guess one of the ‘perks’ of being physically grounded, at least for now, is I have to live out my travel dreams through my hand-made wardrobe.
