Summer Swimwear Tour Kick Off

Today we’re kicking off the Summer Swimwear Tour!  Jess of Gracious Threads, Saskia of The Wolf and the Tree, and I have teamed up to present a week full of swimwear sewing.  With my Classic Maillot swimsuit and tankini, Gracious Threads’ Swim and Surf Shorts (in both women’s and kid sizes), and The Wolf and the Tree’s Just Keep Swimming rashguard, we have you covered for swimwear this year!

We’ll alternate posting for each day of the tour between the three blogs (today it’s here, tomorrow The Wolf and the Tree, Wednesday Gracious Threads, and so on), but I’ll have some fun swimwear posts here for you all week long.  Hint: you’ll want to join the Designs by Call Ajaire Facebook Group so you don’t miss out on a free pattern later this week!

Imagine Gnats offered to send all the tour bloggers some of the amazing swim fabric (*affiliate link) from her shop, so we give a big shout out to our fabulous sponsor.  With all the swimsuits I’ve made this year, I’ve used a lot of the swimwear fabric sold at Imagine Gnats and it’s great quality.
First up on the tour is Jane from Buzzmills with a Classic Maillot Tankini.  The sneak peek is so good that I can’t wait to read the whole post and see the rest of the pics!
Sprouting JubeJube made a Just Keep Swimming Rashguard and it looks like they had a lot of fun on the photoshoot!  Check out the full post here.
And I’m over on Imagine Gnats with the Women’s Swim and Surf Shorts.  Did you know Shorts On The Line started today as well?  Keep an eye on Imagine Gnats this week for loads of shorts inspiration and join in on the fun giveaway game!
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!

I'm really excited about this one! The Verdant Wi I'm really excited about this one!  The Verdant Windbreaker is ready for testing!  This 90's-esque 1/4 zip windbreaker has options for a fully lined or basic unlined pullover.  Views A and B have three zippered pockets, including the center pocket which can work as a stuff sack for the windbreaker like all the cool kids had back in the 1900s 😆  Views C and D are more of a pullover sweatshirt/fleece style without the extra bells and whistles, but all of the vibes.
My outerwear is sized 12m to 16 years and the size chart is in the form below. 
Testing will begin on Monday, the 11th of September and will end on Saturday, the 23rd of September, with a fit test (muslin or just the lining) due by Saturday, the 16th of September.

More info on the new backpack. 💕💕 She asked More info on the new backpack. 💕💕
She asked for plain black this year, so we compromised with some of the black and white crosshatch I used for the lining sprinkled around the outside. 😍😍

The black is Cuddle C3 minky from Shannon Fabrics and it’s so soft. I used sf101 interfacing to keep the pieces from stretching out too much with wear. There’s some Decovil light on the main panels for structure too. 

The crosshatch is sailcloth canvas that I had in my stash from Little Cocalico and it’s such a great fabric for bag linings. 

Pattern is the Little Lizard Kind Vada backpack, which is what I used last year and she specifically requested it for this year too.
