I’m assuming, unless you live under some sort of rock, that you’re all familiar with the amazing Bombshell Swimsuit pattern, created by the lovely Heather of Closet Case Files. I bought it as soon as I saw it – how could I not? I’ve drooled over similar swimsuits over at Modcloth and other websites, and they’re always upwards of $100, so the idea of making my own really appealed to me.

Heather is hosting a Bombshell Sewalong over at her blog, and it starts today! I got my long-suffering husband to print the pattern for me at work today, and I have my fabric here all ready to go. Heather recommends view B for those who need a little more “lift” in the boob region, so view B I will make! I’ll be cutting out my pattern pieces tonight, and obediently making a muslin out of my swimsuit lining.

And yes, I know I already made my own swimsuit. But hey, why not make two? Or even three? Summer has only just begun, and having more than one swimsuit to frolick in doesn’t seem a bad thing in my books.
