Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I finally made my own swimsuit! This bathing suit was meant to be a muslin but it ended up good enough so I probably wouldn’t sew another. The fabric is dead stock found from my local fabric store for a cheap price.
I shortened the breast insert because the gathers were too much for me. The legs were finished with ordinary elastics since I didn’t have swimwear elastics at hand. Maybe I will change them later.

My boyfriend looked at the burda page and said I shall do this like yours. He usually don´t like colors, so this is a huge compliment ;)
