Hello people!
Just a few snapshots of my last creation the Bombshell swimsuit here. I followed the sew-along and everything went fine. I was able to understand the directions, but my sewing is not the finest… 🙂 My seams ending up being too bulky, I wasn´t lucky with the serger and returned to my sewing machine´s zig-zag stitch, which I was more successful with (no broken needles this time). I guess the result will we neater if I happen to sew a second one, let´s say this first one is like an unwearable muslin.
I drafted my size with a little upgrade around the hips and it just fitted ok, except that I should have inserted some extra support like bikini cups, but I wanted to finish it so deadly (cause you have to use special needles in your machine, and it´s no use changing it every time) that I went straight to the end. In my favour I have to say that I have been ten days abroad for my summer holidays, so I haven´t been aall this time to finish it.
And the swimsuit looks like this:
Beautiful, isn´t it? 😉
Absolutly fabulous!
well… thank you so much!! i must admit I was a little bit disencouraged… 🙂
no need at all
I am not sure what is unwearable about it – it looks pretty good to me! The fabric is really lovely.
That fabric is FABULOUS!!!!
Yes! I´ve always loved that blue and brown combination. They go really nice together…
Lovely suit – congrats!
And thanks for stopping by me blog ~
Abrazos, chica!

I love your suit. I hope you get to wear it.
Thanks Leila!
Cute!! The fabric is such a great choice!
Thanks Ginger! I love the fabrics you choose for your projects as well. Your last Belladona is wonderfuuuuul!
It’s amazing and looks so good on you. Not sure i’m brave enough to sew a swimsuit!
Claro que sí. Las Chicas Andaluzas are brave!
Your swimsuit looks so fabulous!! That’s so disappointing that it’s not wearable. I wonder if you can tweak it here and there so that it would work. Hope so, as it’s really nice.
Sure my second version will come out better 😉
It looks good to me, what’s not wearable about it? The fabric is brilliant with this style.
Hi Pella. May be I´m a bit of a perfectionist (as my horoscope Virgo can confirm)
I don´t like the bulky seams and also, don´t think the upper part of the swimsuit could stand the attack of an angy wave! 😀 😀
Found your blog today and saw your swimsuit! Must say it is a wonderful job, love the fabric! I look forward to following you to see what you create next!
Oh, thank you very much. I´m planning to sew a T-shirt with some knit I bought on sale. I just can´t live without trying the twin-needle! 🙂
It looks great, love the fabric!
Yes, it was love at first sight…If only was it in woven besides in lycra…but it is not. I think this kind of fabrics are used for sports competitions, more than for swimsuits. That´s why they are so classy… 🙂
I love the fabric!!! It looks great to me!!!
Thanks Shawnta! Let´s see if I can find such beautiful fabrics for my next projects 🙂
Hi! thank you for youre comment on my blog:) Though, I am not quite shure which dress you are referring to? 😉
Well, Scarlett O´Hara in the film Gone with the wind made a wonderful dress out of a green velvet courtain. 🙂
By the way, youre bombshell swimsuit is tha bomb! 😉
Thanks! It turned out better than I expected, thanks to the wonderful fabric!
This is gorgeous!! I love the fabric you chose. Makes me want to pull my pattern out right now, but I’m saving it for January when it’s dreary and cold cold cold – what better time to sew a bathing suit? 🙂
This is beautiful! Love the fabric you chose. Makes me so antsy to get cracking on my Bombshell, but I’m saving it for the middle of January when it’s dreary and bitter cold in the hopes it will cheer me up 🙂
Madre mía, como me gusta! Ayer he tirado a la basura una licra preciosa porque no ha habido modo de transformarla en algo parecido a un bañador. Menos mal que existe la licra gordita que se trabaja mejor. Cuando sea capaz de hacer uno de estos seré muy feliz, lo sé!
Pero bueno! si yo vi en tu blog varios posts con bikinis y bañadores! y muy bien cosidos, el bombshell te sale fabuloso seguroooo
Precioso!! You que entalle!!!
Thanks Narami!
It looks amazing!! Love the fabric you chose 🙂
Your swimsuit is fabulous!! Fabric and pattern!
What a perfect choice of pattern and fabric, a real diva- suit, looks great on you! Saludos. (I am looking for a sewing machine and ended up on your page 😉
Thanks Sylk flow! I was in love with the fabric from the very first moment I saw it, and best of all, it was on the scraps table in the shop. 🙂
Some girls have all the luck 😉
