Description
I took a pair of my brother’s old swimming trunks and hacked it up! Only the top is from the burdastyle pattern; the bottom boyshorts are from a pattern I made by cutting up a pair of old undies. If I were to sew this again, I would definitely go up a size for the bikini top (36 instead of 34)
Material Notes
old swimming trunks, scraps of olive broadcloth

I really think this looks much better as your bikini than as your brother’s trunks. :-)
