Summer Swimwear Tour – Classic Maillot Testers

I’m in love with testers.  They do so much work helping to make each pattern the best it can be, and the Classic Maillot testers deserve a shout out.  So since it’s Summer Swimwear Tour week and the tour post teasers are posted on The Wolf and the Tree this morning, I thought it was the perfect time to share all the lovely swimwear they made.

Just look at all those amazing swimsuits!  If you like what you see you can purchase the Classic Maillot here with 20% off using the code SWIMTOUR this week.  I’m seriously so proud of how everyone’s swimwear turned out so let’s take a closer look:

First up is Karly of Paisley Roots.  She’s amazing with swimwear so there’s no shock that her first pretest of the view A swimsuit was perfect.

Creations by Maggie made a few view A swimsuits and view E tankinis (more from her coming later this week too!) and her girl is just adorable!

Kate from Kate Will Knit‘s girl was a star for the photo shoot in her view C maillot since they’re in the Southern Hemisphere and it was COLD!

Essence from Adventures with Bubba and Bug made a lovely tankini view F for her girl.

Felicia’s view A turned out great and I love that shade of yellow on her girl.

Gina from Penny Sew Vintage also made a few versions, but I just ADORE this view E/view G mashup one she posted.

Lisa from Sewing Life Together has a perfect fabric pairing with this view B in polka dots and flamingos.

Here’s another view B with a great fabric combo, this one on Anita’s girl.

Shannon‘s girl loves her view D maillot!

Katie’s girl looks so great in this view E tankini and she was one of the first “older” versions to finish so I was very excited to see the fit on her.

And speaking of the higher end of the sizing, how stunning does this view E look on Tone from Bless by Tone‘s girl?  It’s so good in this solid color.

This was Marie-Eve‘s muslin of view A and I just had to share.  What a great wearable muslin!

And last but certainly not least is Zoe from Soul Fed on a Thread‘s view D.  This is Zoe’s first time sewing swimwear AND she says her girl is super thin so fitting can be a problem.  This maillot fits her to a T and we couldn’t be more thrilled with her first time success!!

There’s so much more to come this week on the tour.  Join in on the Summer Swimwear Tour fun by using the hashtag #sewswimtour to share your favorite swimwear makes.  And don’t forget to enter to win these fabulous prizes from our other sponsors!

Today’s the day! The Morgana Zip-Up/Cover-Up is Today’s the day!  The Morgana Zip-Up/Cover-Up is live as a part of the Project Under the Sea collaboration released this morning over @projectrunandplay 💕💕

This zip-up has views for a cropped and oversized hoodie as well as four other cover-up style looks.  Designed for minimal stretch fabrics, it works great with French terry, sweatshirting, and of course the beloved new Cloud Cuddle© from @shannonfabrics (shown in the cover looks.)
You can find the pattern (sized newborn to 16 years) on sale exclusively through Project Run & Play for a month. Check out all the views in the listing. 💕💕

The new Cloud Cuddle© from @shannonfabrics is inc The new Cloud Cuddle© from @shannonfabrics is incredibly soft on both sides, which made it perfect for a new layering piece. 💕💕
It has just enough stretch for the Chromium Cropped Sweatshirt, but I needed to cut the neckband on the bias to make sure it would stretch over her head. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
She wouldn’t stop petting her arms and talking about just how soft it is. 😍😍

Well, it’s been awhile, but Designs by Call Ajai Well, it’s been awhile, but Designs by Call Ajaire has a new pattern that’s ready for testing!! 
Meet the Morgana Zip-Up/Cover-Up in sizes nb-16 years.  This is the perfect beach/pool cover up and was designed for minimal stretch knits, so french terry, cuddle minky, sweatshirting are all great options here.  Other knits could be used, but YMMV.

Testing will begin Wednesday the 26th and end May 6th.  This is a relatively short turn-around, but the block has been used in the past and I’m not anticipating much in the way of fit changes.  If you’d like to test, just fill out this google form (in profile). Thanks!!

I've always loved making. At an early age I started cross stitching and sewing and I taught myself to knit and crochet during college. When our seven year old daughter Bean was born I was filled with all sorts of inspiration, so now I find ways to manage my crafty time and treasure those moments. Though sewing is what I'm most passionate about these days, there's something about the portability of yarn crafts and embroidery that keeps drawing me back in. Read More…
