My swimwear projects so far haven't given me too much trouble in terms of slippery fabrics so fingers crossed I'll have the same luck with this oneFiona Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009622644944619042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-59387328966340777662018-09-10T12:08:52.168+01:002018-09-10T12:08:52.168+01:00When you try the Celesste, it has great instructio...When you try the Celesste, it has great instructions for a nice clean finish, but do try the body on with the straps beforehand - if I had done all that slippery sewing and found the straps too long I would have sworn like - well, like me:). Oh - tip I picked up which really helped with sewing swimwear fabrics - stick glue. Not fabric stick glue, it never works - washable uhu or whatever. Oodles of pins and my walking foot didn't help, but the stick did.Francescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715570187712365610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-24965749523487310432018-09-03T13:40:24.898+01:002018-09-03T13:40:24.898+01:00Ooo yes I do know that company and love them!

Thanks for the fitting tips<br />Yes I can't say I'm inclined to support an initiative without knowing their product first but I understand how challenging it can be to get a business off to a start initially!

This helps me with my fall sewing plans! :)<br />I'm pretty sure you know this company but I cannot recall to see them in your monthly updates. So I thought let's share, maybe I can introduce something new to you :) the link: https://dpstudio-fashion.com/en/Tündehttps://atelierparva.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-33975308806908756742018-08-31T20:11:30.030+01:002018-08-31T20:11:30.030+01:00Thanks Fiona!

I supported Gertie, but only cos I knew and liked her work... the Celeste bikini top pic has inspired me to try to fix mine🙄. I just made my first two piece using Vernazza and two other tops as wearable muslins before using my prized Liberty Beach pieces, and I used my bust measurements for the Celeste. When I did a first try the straps were so long both front and back I abandoned it and moved to the other two. Both worked easily luckily!Francescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715570187712365610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-48192554659408992852018-08-31T16:57:23.131+01:002018-08-31T16:57:23.131+01:00Excellent news!
