Oh yeah. :)
I decided to make a test garment from some cute cotton that I found at a thrift store. I figured I'd go all out and line it and everything, that way if it fit well I could actually wear it. Hehe.
Today I worked mainly on the bikini top.
Instructions...
This is the underside of the bra.
And the top stitching. :)
The *almost* finished product--still needs some buttons and buttonholes.
Pardon the twisted strap. Whoopsie. :)
Also pardon the fact that the top is kinda twisted here. Whoopsie again. But you get the idea, right?
I have started on the bottoms--got the fronts finished this evening.
Front
Putting elastic into front elastic casings (these go right down the middle of the shorts--see pattern envelope).
Lovin' it so far. What do you guys think?

This looks great! will the bottoms have a zipper or buttons?
Hello Sarah,
The bottoms actually have lace-up sides--no zippers or buttons!
What a fabulous pattern and your bikini top looks amazing! Looking forward to seeing the finished piece.
Very cute! I am working on a vintage style bikini right now too. The top of yours is just adorable!
Well that is just adorable!
wow, the bikini looks realy realy adorable
I want to start something similiar in the next week or so. The only problem with cotton bathing suits (from vintage experience) is that they are a nightmare when wet. I find "fabric" suits better suited to sunbathing than actual bathing. Do you think this pattern would work with a more traditional bathing suit tricot?
