A Look at the Fringe Swimsuit
We are kicking off the sew-along today with the Fringe Swimsuit pattern for 18″ dolls. It’s the first in a set of beach themed patterns in the book.
I am loving the gently curved swimsuit front. It is flattering on the dolls and gives the fringe a fun shape. And what about that fringe! It’s fun to make and adds such a sweet touch to the swimsuit.
In My Doll, My Style I featured a solid color swimsuit with an accent color on one of the fringe layers.
I can’t wait to see what you make with the Fringe Swimsuit pattern! Post your pictures to Instagram using the hashtag #MyDollMyStyleSewAlong to share your project and enter this month’s giveaway!
Check back next Tuesday for the weekly inspiration post where I share tips, variations or a bonus project for the pattern!
Happy Sewing!
Anna
