Love these for full coverage swim bottoms. Love them in a wicking fabric for under summer dresses too.

I sew pretty regularly, and when I needed new swim shorts I stumbled across this pattern.
I was wary at first as I often rely on video tutorials to help clarify things, but the instructions were excellent, and with only a few pieces needed for the solid option, they were very fast and easy to sew.
They came our brilliantly, the sizing was perfect, and the clear explanation about grading was really helpful.
I am thrilled with my new swim shorts, I already have a colour blocked pair cut out, and my teenage daughter has placed a request for some as well!
This is my first pattern from this company and I highly recommend them.
