Bikini 2024.

My challenge last week was to sew a bikini that fits my tall body. A challenge I took. And it took me six days to finish. I am pleased to finally feel good in a bikini that looks different and good on me.

Before I started.

This is the first step to find out what size I would need. A stretchy material but not good enough for swimsuit.
An old training top I haven’t used much.
An other traning top I only used few times.

Both training tops was perfect for upcycling and make the bikini buttom.

The process.

This is more for myself if I sew another 😊.
Finished bikini top.
Bikini buttom. And yes I wanted to have a higher edge infront.

Here you see I’ve used the fabric from the apricot colour top’s on both pieces.
This is the front side of the bikini buttom,  just like I wanted them. 

As you may know I am 6’2 and it is hard to buy clothes that actually fits my tall body!  A bikini isn’t any difference. As the fashion is everything “shall be as little as possible ” well that doesn’t look good on all bodies!

And I am not super pleased with every curve I have, not uncommon for any woman around the world. Yet I have found my style and therefore I sew  😊.  Exploring in different pattern that hopefully will fit me and also look good on my tall body 😊.

Hope you will be inspired by my sewing to challenge yourself 😉. Good luck!  And thank you for reading my blog@
