I haven't worn a swimsuit in ages! So maybe I'm getting brave or I realized how much fun I was missing out by not getting in the water with the kids when going to the beach.
Ca fait plusieurs années que je n'ai pas portée de maillot de bain. Soit que de deviens courageuse OU je me suis rendu compte que je pouvais m'amuser beaucoup plus avec les enfants à la plage si je me baignais avec eux.
I made the Bahama Mama Tankini and Bikini Bottoms by
Peek-a-Boo Patterns (affiliate link) which is perfect for a more modest coverage. Let's face it though, I'm in a swimsuit, which shows off a little more than what I normally show when posting on my blog.
Je me suis cousu le Bahama Mama Tankini et Bikini Bottoms de Peek-a-Boo Patterns (lien affilié) et je suis très satisfaite de la couverture un peu plus modeste.
There are two options for back ties on the tankini top, halter and criss-cross straps. For style and comfort I went with the halter version. Full explanations on how to do the shelf bra and how to add cups are in the pattern tutorial.
Il y a deux options pour les bretelles, attachées au coup ou croisées a l’arrière. Côté confort j'ai décidée d'y aller avec les bretelles attachées au coup. Les explications pour le soutien intégré sont très facile à comprendre.
Both patterns are separates but that's great because you can mix and match to fit the style you want in the Bahama Mama line, 3 different tops and 2 different style bottoms in the
shop to suit your needs. The size range on these patterns is from XXS to XXXL.
Les patrons sont offert séparément mais j’apprécie, J'ai pu faire les choix de haut ou de bas qui me convenais le plus. Les grandeur disponibles sont XXS-XXXL.
I spent a full afternoon on this project and I'm about ready to make another because it was so easy and I'm so pleased with the fit.
J'ai passée une bonne après-midi a coudre mon maillot et je suis très satisfaite du résultat, je suis même prête à en faire un autre.
