Shine Bright Like a Diamond


And here is my second swimsuit with fabric I designed and had printed! I use the word "designed" loosely with this one because while I did create the pattern in Illustrator, I copied the idea from this print. I'm not selling this fabric or anything so I felt okay recreating it for personal use.



I added the black fringe along the top and the contrasting black ties. There are so many ways to embellish a swimsuit. They are one of my favorite things to make.



And what is this next pose all about? I can't even control her posing these days.





Check out the first suit I designed fabric for here.

  5. Very cool, both swimsuits! I need to find someplace to print swimsuit fabric, too. I have used Spoonflower for wovens and knits, but they don't do swimsuit fabric yet. I love the fringe on the suit, too. I have plans to make a similar one from a pin I have on Pinterest. That is such a fun embellishment. :)

  11. All the swimsuits in the links this season are making me want to make one for my daughter even more than I already was. But she's two new ones, and soon I'll be a mom of two, I don't know how I'll be adjusting, so maybe this is something I'll leave for the next year... mmm...
