Behind the scenes

For anyone who's wondering how you begin making swimsuits, I'll share a sneak peek into my studio.

Drafting the original pattern

   After it's perfect, I go on to grading all the sizes.  Cutting is the fun part!

  Finishing the ruffle shoulder on a tankini top. This is the best part. I always work on a dress form so I can see if the ruffle's placement is landing in the most flattering way.
