I bought new bathers recently. The official excuse was that it was in preparation for summer. The truth is, I lost my last pair (I honestly have no idea where they are).

They're cute.

I wore them in the water for the first time on Sunday and discovered a fatal flaw in the cuteness of the bottom part. The fold of fabric that makes them cute would flip up around my stomach when I got in the water. It's attached to the actual bikini only at the two seams on either hip.

So, I spent this morning stitching it down. I only stabbed myself in the thumb once, at the end, after I'd also managed to already bend the needle out of shape. Should I tell you all that I don't sew very much at all? :P

Tonight I'm going swimming again. I guess that will be the true test of my sewing skills ... heh.
