I am loving the V9192 suit! It looks so high end and that color suits you perfectly! And the McCall's is a perfect fit too, so cute! Your pool area is lovely, I'm sure you've enjoyed many peaceful mornings by the water. Thanks for sharing your makes!
Oh Grace! I would never have considered making a swimsuit until you showed us yours! You are such an accomplished sewist. I have to say, you look fantastic in them too. Good for you! ♥💕😻
Thank you Katherine! Go for it! The McCall's is extremely quick to sew up! I just bought a couple of more yards of the tropical floral print fabric and I'm still deciding which pattern to sew up next! Have a great weekend! 🥰
I just love your screened-in pool and waterfall so much - thanks for including the night video, too! You did a great job on the swimsuits and they look great on you. The coverups are also really nice!
Wow wow wow 🔥🔥☀️❤❤❤❤ I love all your makes❤ you did an amazing job with your swimsuits and cover ups. Your house is beautiful. Love your kitchen and pool is just breathtaking. Enjoy my dear friend
Thank you Vani! I really appreciate that. I can't believe how really simple it is to sew up a swimsuit (except for the New Look). That one was very challenging to get the fit. The coverup pattern is a MUST HAVE!!! Love you my dear! 🥰❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹
Ok now I want to come and swim in your pool! It's so gorgeous and love the waterfall 💙 You did a wonderful job on those swimsuits and cover ups and 2 out of 3 is a good result. Those Fabric Mart fabrics were just meant to come your way! How awesome to find a swimsuit pattern that suits you so well, I see many more in your future. Have a fantastic week xxx❤
Yes, and you know that you and Chris are always welcome to visit us and take a dip in the pool! 💝😎Yes, I am sewing another swimsuit. I bought more of the tropical floral fabric. Thanks and have a great week! 💝
Thanks Zelda! I just picked up more of that fabric but in a blush color yesterday! Gorgeous fabric. Hope you are enjoying some quality time with your family! 🥰
❤ fantastic makes, you look amazing in both the swimsuits and the cover ups. So glad you will make a diff swimsuit in the same fabric as the one you didn't like the fit of. You have a beautiful home xx
Thank you Leanne! These were surprisingly simple to sew up except for the New Look. I plan to make another swimsuit with the tropical fabric. I'm just deciding on the pattern. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🥰😘
I love the swimsuits & the cover-ups! The fabric choices are great. The Vogue 9192 is a really nice style-so classy😊. I made the NL pattern. My swimsuit didn't fit properly either. I thought it was something I did. Now I'm going to pull it out & see what happened. You're so right about the cover-up. It can be worn with other garments. Even though the NL doesn't fit, all 3 of your suits are nice. Great sewing week!
Thank you Donna. I have not seen anyone else make the NL swimsuit. It would be a very interesting video if you talked about your experience with it. It seemed simple enough to put together but I don't think it accommodates too many figures. That coverup pattern is a MUST HAVE. McCall's are on sale for $2.99 now thru the 8th at Joann's. Happy Sewing! 🥰
Hi Grace, I was inspired by your coffee percolator so I bought one. Love it. Always appreciate your channel and look forward to each one every week. Thanks again.
Grace the came out great! Sometimes times the measurements are off on the patterns. I have experienced that a lot especially w/ the vintage. I like them! They were constructed greatly. Tx for sharing!😊
Hi Grace! I made the New Look swimsuit this year too. I also had fit issues with the top. I had to recut the top after adding 2 inches along the front neckline plus extra lining for cups. I don't think I'll make it again. I like your vogue version...I should try that next time.. have a great week ahead.
Wow Stephanie, so I'm not the only one that had an issue with the NL swimsuit. I would like to see it sewn up by anyone. You should definitely pick up the Vogue pattern when it goes on sale at Joann's next week. It's a great design. I hope you have a wonderful week too!
Grace, the name of your channel “suits” you perfectly! You’re Lovely, Your Makes are Lovely, Your home is Lovely, and I’m sure those morning cups of coffee taste Lovely as well.🥰
The fabrics are perfect for your swimsuits! I really like the burgundy one, especially. The pink floral is super-nice too. I love how the cover ups just tuck into each side. What an easy closure. It's too bad that the New Look suit didn't work as well a the others, but you have two gorgeous suits and three gorgeous cover ups! Thanks for sharing all the incredibly useful information! I don't think I'll be making a swimming suit, but it's still good information to know! Have a great week!
Hi Grace! I absolutely LOVE your swimsuits! They are all great! My favorite is the Vogue! I’m glad that the Vogue pattern worked out so that your beautiful fabric is wearable. At least you can repurchase the Joann fabric. Love your cover ups! I love how excited you are about your suits!!
Thanks Talisha! You should definitely pick up the Vogue pattern later this month when it goes on sale at Joann’s and Go for it!. I’m surprised how quickly all the patterns sewed up. I actually ran out to Joann’s today and picked up more of that tropical floral swimsuit fabric. I plan to make another swimsuit with it. I’m still deciding on the pattern. Have a great weekend! 🥰😍
I'm surprised that you haven't ventured in to making swimsuits before now with that lovely pool you have there. You sewed up some really nice bathing outfits. Too bad the 2nd one didn't turn out as well as you would like but I love that fabric! Beautiful fabric!! I can see a closet full of swimsuits and cover-ups in your future!! LOLOLOL... Happy Sewing!!
Thanks Deb. I guess I wasn't motivated to make a swimsuit until I moved from cold PA to the hot sunshine state of FL only a few years ago! Now I can't stop!!! LOL.🤣 The next time I go to the Sewing Studio, I want to check if they have any swimsuit fabric. That would be awesome. Those coverups are a breeze! Great for lounging around the house with my pups and coffee. Pick up the pattern for the coverup alone. It's well worth it. Hope you are doing well and keeping cool. 🧊
Aww thanks. I just watch what and how much I eat. I try to only eat 2 meals a day. I only drink water or seltzer water NOT diet. Lots of fruit. Only eat out twice a month. Cut back if I feel like I'm gaining weight. Lots of veggies and protein.
I love the first suit with the gold sparkle pattern. Also the black and coral high neck one. The coverups are great too. I have made a bathing suit once., years ago and now I’m inspired again. I need a high front and back, as I do a lot of diving and jumping with my Grandsons, can’t have a slip! Yikes. I love your home and pool, also that sweet sewing bungalow.❤️ You are a glamour gal with a darling figure. Rock on Girlfriend! ❤️
Thanks Aribella! I do love the Vogue pattern. Such a classic look. I absolutely love the high neck of the McCalls and how it especially sews up the quickest of the 3. The double snaps give it extra security. You might want to try that if you give it a go for that pattern. Thanks so much for your sweet comments! 🥰 Have a FAB weekend my dear! 💝💝
Grace you did a great job on your swim suits. They both look great on you. Both swim suits cover up were also nice. And loved the fabrics on both swim suits covering. So chic and classy ❤ thank you for sharing. You make me smile cause you are so sweet. See you on the next post.
Hi Grace! I love your swimsuits!! This was a perfect use for the mystery bundle fabric and it was worth the price of the bundle all by itself! I made my first swimsuit earlier this year and am so proud and happy with how it turned out 😁 I used Kwik Sew 2690. Your pool is beautiful 😍
Thank you Michelle! I agree, that burgundy/gold piece alone was worth the price of the bundle. Fabulous quality and I'm thrilled with the swimsuit. Kwik Sew 2690 looks adorable. I'd like to find a similar pattern. I like that look very much. Have a great day!! 💝💝💝
Wow! Great suits and you are a fabulous sewists!! You're garments are so professional and well fitted. You are brave to try the suits and having never made a bathing suit,you're just so talened! I love TBE burgundy one best of all! And you're skin and figure is gorgeous😊
Thank you Janet! I say, if you want to try something, the time is NOW! Go for it! I've never been motivated to make a swimsuit until I moved here from PA to FL a few years ago. They actually come together quite easily especially the McCalls pattern. VERY EASY! A mock helps for sizing too. 🥰
Grace, what darling swimsuits and coverups. Your fabric choices were great, and your fit on your suits and coverups were perfect (as always). Beautiful pool too! Thanks for inspiring me.
Hi Grace! You always look lovely in everything! The bathing suits turned out great as did the cover up. The fabric mart fabric of v9192 is beautiful! I think the tropical print is my favorite fabric… sorry it didn’t work for you. The pool Is awesome! ❤ Diann
Thanks Diann! I did pick up more of the tropical print fabric today. I plan to make another swimsuit with it. I have not decided on which pattern yet. Thanks so much! 💝
I ordered a Mistry box’s and got about 3 yards at that same fabric, but in a light bluish gray with the same silver dots planning to make bath suits with it also but the rest of my box was not that great..love your makes ❤
I'm sorry to hear that the rest of the box was not that great. But, to me, that swimsuit fabric alone is worth it. The quality is PERFECT for the Vogue pattern. I love it. I wish I had the same in the silver dots. i would make it again. Thanks for watching and commenting. 💝
I think you could save that suit by putting some stretch elastic under that bust area and also on the side hip of the cut out. Both are on the same side so the elastic could balance out the look
Sew inspiring! You just made a lot of ladies want to try their hand at making their own swimsuits, including me. Everything you make is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Grace!💕
Love the maroon suit on you Grace It’s a very slimming design, perfect fit and looks just great Shame about suit two because yes that fabric is stunning The coverups do compliment each suit nicely to Good on you for giving that ago I did once many years ago and it was a disaster. I haven’t tried it again. Once I feel more confident with my stretch fabric sewing, I might give it another go but in the meantime yours looks absolutely fab
Thank you! Go for it! These swimsuits actually sew up quick. I just got back from Joann's because I bought 2 more yards of the tropical floral swimsuit fabric. I want to use it for another swimsuit since it's NOT sheer and it's gorgeous. The McCall's is so fast to sew up! It takes less than a yard of fabric. I'm still deciding which pattern though. Thanks for watching! 🥰
Love the two winners! I am so glad you shared these with us- I have a large bust- so now I won’t bother with the New Look pattern! Thank you!!! Will need to pick up the Vogue! The pool is lovely!
Your swimsuits are beautiful Grace and I like the coverups very much! I would have liked to see how the coverup actually opened up or do you put it on over your head?
I love your pool!! I am kind of jealous 😂. Love the cover up! The swim suit is so cute! The Coffee this morning looked so yummy. I do hope the ring doesn't tarnished with the chlorinated pool. The new look one are also stunning! Just sad it did not work. The last swim suit is totally Italian high street.
Thank you Katinka! I have a bag of 10 rings if it tarnishes and it will be easy to unpick and replace if need be! I hope I won't need to. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🥰
I was amazed that 2 of the swimsuits fit you so well. I was sure you would drown in the fabric. I usually wear an 18 or 20 in the big 4 patterns quite comfortably, and I'm much bigger than you are. In fact, I'm wearing a size 18 shift dress at the moment from one of the Big 4 companies and it's even a bit loose under the arms. But you look gorgeous in the 2 of them. Its such a shame that the tropical one didn't fit. The fabric is so beautiful. I think I like the third cover up the best, just the drape of it. They all look lovely, but I think the third one hung the best on you. I also liked the third bathing suit the best, I think. It didn't seem overly revealing on you. I don't think I'd want to swim the butterfly in it, but for lounging around the pool, I think it will be great.
Thank you Linda! It's great to try a mock of the swimsuit for sizing if possible. The sizes are so inconsistent especially with knits. With wovens, I'm consistently a size 16 in Big 4. I never sew indie patterns. That coverup pattern is a must have. It's so easy and quick to sew up. I have 3 and I'm going to make a 4th! 🤣 The 3rd swimsuit is definitely great for lounging around the pool or floating. Have a great weekend! 💝
Excellent makes. Too bad about the flowery didn’t work but the last one is awesome! Plus, the coverups are lovely especially the first one. It’s amazing how well you can see up do many items in such a short time and well done. 😮
Thank you Jeannie! The cover ups can sew up in a couple of hours. The swimsuits only took a day each. All in all, they are very quick makes. If you include the pink mock swimsuit, I actually made 4 swimsuits! Try it. It's fun and easy! Have a great weekend! 🥰
@@sewlovelywithgrace Thank you Grace for taking the time to individually reply to our comments. You are thorough, friendly and encouraging. Have a great weekend! Enjoy your swimming and poolside makes!! 🤩
@@sewlovelywithgrace you have been helpful and inspiring . I made my first ever video yesterday, in spite of my fears. I aspire to gain the confidence and experience to one day sew my clothes professionally and make RUclips videos of my journaling my garment making.
Your swimsuits are stunning and the fit is perfect . Did you have to do many adjustments if any? I don't know if you must have a server to make a swimsuit.
Since I discovered your RUclips channel a few months ago, it gave me the push to take on sewing again 😍. I love your style, your makes, your energy and your very well made videos. You cover the reasons why you chose the patterns and what worked. I would benefit from more technical aspects of the garment making . For example the type of swimsuit fabric and the types of elastics to use. I made a lot of garments thanks to your inspiration. Tanks,pants, hats and I am finishing a sport shirt for my husband. I am glued to RUclips come Fridays waiting for your video to come on!! 💕💋
@@louisemasse8090 Yes, I agree with you. I should get into more technical parts of sewing. I try to. Basically, there are thin and thicker swimsuit fabrics. I look for non-sheer. Also, Swimsuit elastic is required. That's hard to find. I found some at Joann's. I'm glad I inspire you and I'm thrilled you tune in and comment. I love to sew and I started this channel to get others to get out of their comfort zone and sew. It's sad to see less and less people sewing. I hope that turns around. I want to contribute to that. 💝💝🥰
@@shariharvey2870 Yes, It's a screened in cage. Very common here in Florida. Keeps all kinds critters out and also leaves and debris from storms. Keeps the pool clean. Thanks for asking! 🥰
You look fabulous in your new swimsuits 🩱 you have a very nice figure. I’ve made swimsuits as 8 can’t find any in stores that fit me correctly. Need larger top than bottom So make my own too!
Has anyone made the New Look N6734 swimsuit? 🩱 What was your experience with it? Happy Sewing everyone! 🪡

Thank you Anita! GO FOR IT!! 🥰
I love the burgundy and gold one! It fits you well!
Yes! It's a real winner! Thanks.
The first bathing suit was beautiful! I saw that sage green fabric at JoAnn fabrics.😊 Beautiful pool!

I think the Sewing Studio has a nice assortment of swimwear fabric -- it's in the front of the store near where the cash registers are.
I'm going to have to check it out!
Ok girl, spill the tea. How do you maintain your beautiful body shape? These swimsuits look fabulous on you!
Aww thanks. I just watch what and how much I eat. I try to only eat 2 meals a day. I only drink water or seltzer water NOT diet. Lots of fruit. Only eat out twice a month. Cut back if I feel like I'm gaining weight. Lots of veggies and protein.

Thank you Sew Coffee SISTER!!! 💝💝💝Love you! ♥♥♥
Hi Grace! I love your swimsuits!! This was a perfect use for the mystery bundle fabric and it was worth the price of the bundle all by itself!
I made my first swimsuit earlier this year and am so proud and happy with how it turned out 😁 I used Kwik Sew 2690.
Your pool is beautiful 😍
Thank you Michelle! I agree, that burgundy/gold piece alone was worth the price of the bundle. Fabulous quality and I'm thrilled with the swimsuit. Kwik Sew 2690 looks adorable. I'd like to find a similar pattern. I like that look very much. Have a great day!! 💝💝💝

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Yes, It's amazing how quick these swimsuits and coverups sewed up! Thanks for stopping by! 💝
Hi Grace! You always look lovely in everything! The bathing suits turned out great as did the cover up. The fabric mart fabric of v9192 is beautiful! I think the tropical print is my favorite fabric… sorry it didn’t work for you. The pool Is awesome! ❤ Diann
Thanks Diann! I did pick up more of the tropical print fabric today. I plan to make another swimsuit with it. I have not decided on which pattern yet. Thanks so much! 💝
@@sewlovelywithgrace I’m so glad you got more of that print! It’s so pretty! ♥️
All very nice. Like you, my fave is the round neck. Love the material and the cut. Lucky you with the pool :)
Thank you! Have a great weekend!
I ordered a Mistry box’s and got about 3 yards at that same fabric, but in a light bluish gray with the same silver dots planning to make bath suits with it also but the rest of my box was not that great..love your makes ❤
I'm sorry to hear that the rest of the box was not that great. But, to me, that swimsuit fabric alone is worth it. The quality is PERFECT for the Vogue pattern. I love it. I wish I had the same in the silver dots. i would make it again. Thanks for watching and commenting. 💝
I love them all! Great patterns and fabrics!!
Thank you so much Kris!
I think you could save that suit by putting some stretch elastic under that bust area and also on the side hip of the cut out. Both are on the same side so the elastic could balance out the look
Thanks for the tips. I might try that!!
Love the suits Grace! You picked such great fabrics!
Thank you Carol!
The maroon fabric suit looks great.
Thank you! I can't believe the quality of it from my mystery bundle! INSANE!
I love the fabrics you used as well.
Thank you Kesha! 💝
Grace, I am so proud of you both swimsuits are lovely on you! My favorite is v1992.
Thank you Mary! Yes, the Vogue is a classic style. I love it too!!! 🥰

Thank you Lisa! That's my goal, to inspire you to get out of your comfort zone and sew something! Thanks for stopping by! 💝💕
Love the maroon suit on you Grace
It’s a very slimming design, perfect fit and looks just great
Shame about suit two because yes that fabric is stunning
The coverups do compliment each suit nicely to
Good on you for giving that ago
I did once many years ago and it was a disaster. I haven’t tried it again.
Once I feel more confident with my stretch fabric sewing, I might give it another go but in the meantime yours looks absolutely fab
Thank you! Go for it! These swimsuits actually sew up quick. I just got back from Joann's because I bought 2 more yards of the tropical floral swimsuit fabric. I want to use it for another swimsuit since it's NOT sheer and it's gorgeous. The McCall's is so fast to sew up! It takes less than a yard of fabric. I'm still deciding which pattern though. Thanks for watching! 🥰
Love the two winners! I am so glad you shared these with us- I have a large bust- so now I won’t bother with the New Look pattern! Thank you!!! Will need to pick up the Vogue! The pool is lovely!
Thank you! Yes definitely pick up the Vogue pattern when they go back on sale at Joann's from Aug 8th - 14th.
I have that 7964 McCalls swimsuit cover up & ❤ it
You definitely have to GO FOR IT!! Easy peasy and it's gorgeous! 🥰
@@sewlovelywithgrace you don't have to be a swimmer to wear , you can party with swim wear any time 😊❤️💃🏾, sew relaxing !!
DEFINITELY!!!
Your swimsuits are beautiful Grace and I like the coverups very much! I would have liked to see how the coverup actually opened up or do you put it on over your head?
Thank you so much! The coverups slip on and off over your head! It's awesome. I highly recommend.
I’ve had that McCalls pattern in my stash for a while. You’ve motivated me to give it a try 💕
Definitely GO FOR IT! It's a quick sew. 💝💝💝💝
Love all of your swimsuits and cover ups, well done!! On the New Look, I wonder if you could add/insert some elastic to cinch it up?
Great idea!! I did purchase more of that tropical print fabric. I plan to make another swimsuit. I'm still deciding on a pattern.
I love your pool!! I am kind of jealous 😂. Love the cover up! The swim suit is so cute! The Coffee this morning looked so yummy. I do hope the ring doesn't tarnished with the chlorinated pool. The new look one are also stunning! Just sad it did not work. The last swim suit is totally Italian high street.
Thank you Katinka! I have a bag of 10 rings if it tarnishes and it will be easy to unpick and replace if need be! I hope I won't need to. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🥰
@@sewlovelywithgrace thank you, you too
Hi Grace!!
Love all the swimsuits and the cover ups ❤❤
Thank you Kesha! They are all fun to wear too! Have a GREAT weekend! 😘🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@sewlovelywithgrace Have a great weekend 🥰
I was amazed that 2 of the swimsuits fit you so well. I was sure you would drown in the fabric. I usually wear an 18 or 20 in the big 4 patterns quite comfortably, and I'm much bigger than you are. In fact, I'm wearing a size 18 shift dress at the moment from one of the Big 4 companies and it's even a bit loose under the arms. But you look gorgeous in the 2 of them. Its such a shame that the tropical one didn't fit. The fabric is so beautiful. I think I like the third cover up the best, just the drape of it. They all look lovely, but I think the third one hung the best on you. I also liked the third bathing suit the best, I think. It didn't seem overly revealing on you. I don't think I'd want to swim the butterfly in it, but for lounging around the pool, I think it will be great.
Thank you Linda! It's great to try a mock of the swimsuit for sizing if possible. The sizes are so inconsistent especially with knits. With wovens, I'm consistently a size 16 in Big 4. I never sew indie patterns. That coverup pattern is a must have. It's so easy and quick to sew up. I have 3 and I'm going to make a 4th! 🤣 The 3rd swimsuit is definitely great for lounging around the pool or floating. Have a great weekend! 💝
Hard to see your favorite one as the heart covered the view
I think you can get the best view when I walk over to the pool steps. I don't want my cleavage exposed on the internet. Thanks for watching.
Excellent makes. Too bad about the flowery didn’t work but the last one is awesome! Plus, the coverups are lovely especially the first one. It’s amazing how well you can see up do many items in such a short time and well done. 😮
Thank you Jeannie! The cover ups can sew up in a couple of hours. The swimsuits only took a day each. All in all, they are very quick makes. If you include the pink mock swimsuit, I actually made 4 swimsuits! Try it. It's fun and easy! Have a great weekend! 🥰
@@sewlovelywithgrace Thank you Grace for taking the time to individually reply to our comments. You are thorough, friendly and encouraging. Have a great weekend! Enjoy your swimming and poolside makes!! 🤩
Thank you Jeannie! I appreciate your comments and enjoy replying. I hope I can be helpful.
@@sewlovelywithgrace you have been helpful and inspiring . I made my first ever video yesterday, in spite of my fears. I aspire to gain the confidence and experience to one day sew my clothes professionally and make RUclips videos of my journaling my garment making.
@@jeannie82024 Congratulations! I did watch it and commented and subscribed!
I think every swimsuit pattern should have a regular and a full bust version.
I completely agree with you! Thanks for stopping by.
Your swimsuits are stunning and the fit is perfect .
Did you have to do many adjustments if any?
I don't know if you must have a server to make a swimsuit.
Thank you Louise! And no, I did not make any adjustments. The sizes I stated for each, worked out. What do you mean by a "server"?
Oups, I meant a Serger
A serger is not required. You can use your sewing machine with a Stretch needle and a zig zag stitch or a knit stretch stitch.
Since I discovered your RUclips channel a few months ago, it gave me the push to take on sewing again 😍. I love your style, your makes, your energy and your very well made videos. You cover the reasons why you chose the patterns and what worked. I would benefit from more technical aspects of the garment making . For example the type of swimsuit fabric and the types of elastics to use.
I made a lot of garments thanks to your inspiration. Tanks,pants, hats and I am finishing a sport shirt for my husband.
I am glued to RUclips come Fridays waiting for your video to come on!! 💕💋
@@louisemasse8090 Yes, I agree with you. I should get into more technical parts of sewing. I try to. Basically, there are thin and thicker swimsuit fabrics. I look for non-sheer. Also, Swimsuit elastic is required. That's hard to find. I found some at Joann's. I'm glad I inspire you and I'm thrilled you tune in and comment. I love to sew and I started this channel to get others to get out of their comfort zone and sew. It's sad to see less and less people sewing. I hope that turns around. I want to contribute to that. 💝💝🥰
Is your pool indoors?
No. The pool is outdoors.
@@sewlovelywithgrace Looked enclosed? I ask since it looks like a great option to keep unwanted guests out.
@@shariharvey2870 Yes, It's a screened in cage. Very common here in Florida. Keeps all kinds critters out and also leaves and debris from storms. Keeps the pool clean. Thanks for asking! 🥰
You look fabulous in your new swimsuits 🩱 you have a very nice figure. I’ve made swimsuits as 8 can’t find any in stores that fit me correctly. Need larger top than bottom
So make my own too!
Oh thank you!
