I finished my first attempt at swimwear for myself.  It is Kwik Sew 3239 views A and F with a little style of my own. In all it was very easy to follow and turned out nicely. See below.

I added in two stripes across the bust and did a full lining on both the top and the bottom.  The hems were cover stitched because it makes a nice finish.  The top just meets the waistband of the bottom. I will add an inch or two to the tankini top when I make another one.

On the side bar, look for sewing and click on ‘Pattern Reviews’ to see my review of this pattern.
