So we are going to Puerto Rico with my Dad, and sister and her husband on the 9th of January so I am in high gear to get everything ready for Puerto Rico. I don't have any maternity swimsuits, and I tried on my swimsuit, thinking that maybe it would just stretch over my huge tummy, but it really didn't fit well, so I am sewing some swimsuits, because it is sooooo much cheaper than buying them.
So I took a pattern and and added a seam line in the front and added some extra room for my tummy, and then just gathered it at the bust line. This is the first time I have made a swimsuit for myself from a pattern, with a built in bra and everything, and I am really pleased with the outcome. I am hoping to make two more swimsuits and a pair of pregnancy board shorts to wear there also, so I have a lot of sewing to do.
This is the pattern I used Kwik 3416 and I did view A, I did straps from the sides instead of the center, and I sewed them in so I don't have to bother with tying straps.
