Summer Swimsuit!

Phew what a crazy project this was. Trying to figure out how the heck to design a pattern for the top part was rather tedious... And the small straps to boot. Felt like my sewing machine was working against me on a few things. The first cheap cloth proto-type went smoothly with it's numerous flaws and makeshipf straps.



After redesigning a few things it was time to try out the new patterns I made. Everything was going well, I even added in a white liner to the upper parts, time to install the final strap, smooth sailing for the last part... then comes a diagonal stitch. Ahhhh! WTF?! rip rip, darn black thread and black cloth where are you thread???? rip rip.... round 2.... sew, another diagonal line.... no way.... rip rip rip.... ready to smash something. By round 3 attempt I should have left the two prior attempts it would have probably made a perfect X, the stuff was so thing the teeth were not catching the cloth well enough to move it down. several snags later and other issues.... the straps were installed! -_-

All that remains now is to look over this proto-type 2 and see if I can make alterations to the swimsuit for a better production of it.
