ellebeezy: Sew when can i go swimming?

Currently listening - Bikini Kill The Singles [mediafire.]

Vintage 30s swimsuit pattern [via.]

Beyond denim pants I can't think of something that needs to fit better than a swimsuit. I have found a few I like online, but I'm reluctant to sink $100 into swimwear. What's a girl to do? I'll make this sew easy for you -

Life's a stitch.

I want to do a high-waisted one piece. 50s styled, no skirt. Add a few buttons and an anchor? Perhaps a sailor-hat when I'm kicking it at the pool? There are some really cute patterns at Heavens to Betsy but most of the ones I like sold out.

1940s style high waist culotte shorts

Alas, no bathing cap pattern included.

I found a pattern on burdastyle.com that seams (haha, sewing puns!) to be perfect. I'll need to figure out mods to make it a two piece, but its sew-no problem.
