[BAW 10]: Bikini Time!

Mar 6, 2016 | Swimwear Makes | 10 comments

ย Hi All!
This week I have something super fun! Bikinis! Which is why I’m calling March Bikini Month!
Now I do have a super selfish reason for making March Bikini Month- and that’s because I’m on a family trip to Grand Cayman right now! I am writing this post with the ocean lapping at the shores – and yes it’s bliss! But I couldn’t leave you without the Bra-A-Week Challenge post this week, and I couldn’t leave for my trip without some super cute bikinis!

Because they’re so quick and fun to make- and because I have a sister- I thought it would be a good idea to make more than one for the trip, then of course I got inspired and a little carried away, and ended up with 3 different styles of bottoms that I love: Bikini, BoyShort and HighWaisted! And then some tops to mix and match!

So because I’m in the middle of doing some blog photography here- instead of showing you one make, I’m going to do a little preview this week, tutorial next week, and then a full showing the third week of March!

Here I am doing a little beach combing in my nautical boy shorts!

 

 

Getting a little hammock time in my mermaid bikini, with an accessorized bikini top.

 

And of course I couldn’t be taking underwater shots without a ย little selfie fun with my sister Kristie!

Well there you have it! There is your little preview of some of the suits I’ve made for this month! I can reveal that I have three bottom styles, and I left with 6 bottoms and 3 tops to mix and match! So you will be getting lots of shots! And these could possibly be patterns in the future.. maybe ๐Ÿ˜‰

How has your week been?

What are you making this month? Anybody joining me with bikinis or are you sticking with some bras?

Let me know!

    It looks like you're having a great time on your vacation!! And your bikinis are so cute! I can't wait to see them in detail at the end of March ๐Ÿ™‚
    I'm not making any swimwear at the moment, but when summer approaches I may try to clone my favourite swimsuit of all times: a vintage style bikini that makes me feel like a total bombsell! ๐Ÿ˜‰

      It's pretty fantastic ๐Ÿ™‚ And I'm loving being able to just sit out in my bikini- they had to de-ice our plan when we left Toronto so this has been bliss! I can't wait to see you summer bombshell suit! There's nothing better than a bathing suit that makes you feel like a million bucks!!
