Description
I was really excited when I saw this pattern and at that moment I was looking for something new to try….this was a challenge but so fun. I made mistake after mistake, and even now with me being finished I see where I made more mistakes. I left the ties off of the back because I ran out of the green fabric that I began making this in ;-)…
I do plan to try this again….hopefully later today, because after making it I see where at time I misinterpreted the instructions….
I can’t wait to see how my next one comes out. I did try it on (and will spare everyone those photos ), and it was very comfortable.
Instead of using the clasp on the back I sewed the strap closed….my fear would be if the clasp ever broke while I was at the pool, so better safe than sorry is how I went. I might try the clasp next time.

You did a gorgeous job on this! I know we’re all persnickety on our own work, but without having it right in front of me, I can’t see any glaring errors! Glad you’re trying it again.
Blessings,

Amazing work! I can’t believe how fast you finished this project. Four-way stretch can be so hard to work with but your suit looks good. I like it without the ties – it’s really sleek and beautiful. You are a great talent!!

it turn out so pertty, i am making one to, but i think i lost a piece of the pattern how many pieces did you have. i think i lost the one that goes in the front, not the big piece to cover the boobs but the one that goes in the middle of that one.well anyways when you make the second one i would definately like to see it
