Sewing Swimsuits

I've sewn my first swimsuit successfully and am pleased with the result.

Swimsuit

I used the pattern from Simply Modest Swimwear  and bought the Lycra online for about $20 per swimsuit.

Margaret loves her new swimsuit and a lady at the pool on our first outing inquired where she could get such a swimsuit.

    It came out very cute! Is it more effective?

    Dear Katherine,

    Your daughter is so pretty, and the swimsuit looks both cute and comfortable. Many compliments on the swimming outfit. I wear something similar, for I walk about a quarter of a mile to and from the pool.

    Agape always,
    Cynthia

    Thank you, ladies.

    Priscilla: I'm not sure what you mean by whether the swimsuit is more effective. The swimsuits I've been buying them cost about $50--which I really understand given about $20 in materials and then the sheer labor hours it takes to sew a swimsuit--so if I can sew them myself for free labor, that's a big cost savings.
