Ellie & Mac Color Block Swim Suit

It's Wacky Wednesday - which lasts all week at Ellie & Mac! This is the Colorblock Zip Swimsuit Mix & Match. I went with a simple version of this pattern without any color blocking. 

I can always use more solid colored swim bottoms because I have a tendency to make a lot of printed swim tops. I love this peacock color swim I got from Made Whimsy a few years ago. I no longer see it in stock.

I used Watercolor Pond YSS from Zenith & Quasar for the top. I lined it with the peacock swim and added in bra cups to the lining. 

The pattern calls to finish all edges with elastic, to fold in inside and to topstitch it to enclose it. On the top, I finished my seams using a highlighter pink picot elastic from the BraMakery and love the little added feminine touch. I also added bra band elastic to the waistband of my bottoms that was 5/8" wide and had a picot edge with a plush edge against my skin. 

I pass the neighborhood swimming pool on my walk to the garden every day. I'm thinking I might wear this with a pair of shorts sometime and take a backpack with me to hold my towel and any veggies that I end up picking. That way I can stop and have a quick cool down before I walk on home. 

Be sure to check out all the great patterns on sale for only one dollar each this week.
