Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is so far my favorite print for swimsuits. This retro mod 70’s swimsuit fabric is super stretchy and I made it into one of my diva-Kinis. This one is for a friend, but my daughter was modeling it today. :) Fold the waist up for a one piece look, scrunch the waist in the middle for a high waisted bikini look or fold down for a skirted look.

My dd has grown out of the geisha pants, they are a size zero if you want them, free for shipping. ;)

I love this suit—and the fabric is perfect!! I hope you make a pattern—that is terrible about the two disappearing—ugh!

I love this! Best bathing suit idea ever!

I’m excited to see more high waisted swim bottoms. I think they are more flattering than the low cut ones and more flattering than the tankini while still providing coverage.
