Hey guys! Watch the video below to see how I flipped this Salvation Army shirt into a $166 Camila Coelho bikini for just $8! It's a super easy and fun project. Keep reading for info on materials, costs, and more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ9JTsK8kOg&t=1s So, I'm back today with another swimwear sewing tutorial (big surprise, I know). This one is a little bit different though because... Today we're upcycling! I am a huge fan of thrifting and upcycling, first and foremost because it's cheap, but secondly because it's better for the planet. It's also j[...]

This is a super easy design, so even if you're new to sewing, I promise you can make it! You also won't be needing a pattern because I make everything using clothes I already own, and will show you how to do it too. So if you're looking for a new, simple yet flattering go-to one-piece to wear this summer, be sure to try this out!  Also, if you want to customize it a bit, there are easy changes[...]

Hey guys! Today I'm back with yet another DIY swimsuit tutorial (big surprise, I know 😉). And this honestly might just be the easiest one yet. It only took me about 3 hours to make, and that's including the time it took to set up and film everything. So, if you're new to sewing - or even just new to sewing swimwear - this is a great place to start. Plus, it's super cute and functional! In these photos, you can see me wearing it on my trip to Panama earlier this year and it was perfect for time spent relaxing in the sun. While in Panama, I also got to try[...]

Hey guys! It's been a little while since I've posted, but I'm going to have to blame grad school for that one. If you saw my last post, you know that I recently started grad school at Cambridge and it's been an adjustment! But now I'm back and ready to share some fun posts with you, starting with this strappy one piece tutorial. Though this design is slightly more complicated than some of the simple bikinis I've posted on here, it's definitely still beginner-friendly. So pull out your sewing machine and let's get started! First things first, here's what you'l[...]

Hey guys! Today we're doing a fun tutorial, where we'll make this super cute swimsuit top. 🤗  I will admit, it's a little saucy! So if that's what you like to wear, then this one is for you. I recently wore it on a trip to Panama and feel like it was a perfect vacation bikini. All in all, it's not too hard to make, even if you're a beginner. In the video, I'll show you exactly how to "free hand" the pattern using clothes you already own, so you don't even need to buy a pattern. And, time-wise, it only took about a day to make, so it's a nice quick pro[...]

Hey guys! This week I'm back with (surprise, surprise) another swimsuit tutorial! The fun and unique bikini you see above was one I made earlier this year to wear on my trip to South Africa.  What I love about this swimsuit is that it's a mix between simplistic and unique. I decided to buy a fabric with an interesting pattern to it so that I could design my swimsuit around the pattern. It ended up working really well and added something special to a classic style. It's also very easy to make and is a nice go-to swimsuit for the summer. From start to fini[...]

This week I'm going to be showing you how to make an original design of my own! As you can see, it's a color block bikini. Since this is an original design, it took me a bit of time to figure out how to make it. But now that I have, I know it's actually a pretty easy sewing project that's definitely beginner-friendly. Another aspect I especially love about this swimsuit is that I used Repreve recycled fabric to make it! What makes Repreve fabric so great is that it's made from pre- and post-consumer plastic bottles that would otherwise be ocean-bound. But ins[...]
