First Kaya Suit....Not The Last

So easy to sew. Sizing was a bit of a problem...according to sizing chart I should have made a size 16...ended up with a size 12. I made the mid-length sleeve tankini. I would recommend this pattern to everyone...very beginner friendly. I wish that I could include a photo.

Fabulous Swim Set

Love, love, love Sinclair's swim patterns. I made the rash guard top with elbow length sleeves and the high waisted bottoms. Fit was spot on as usual, and they are perfect for a day on the water.

The perfect selection of options

While I found the Kaya Rashguard a challenging sew (nothing like trying to install a zipper on swim fabric eh?), I found the instructions in the pattern very helpful and held my hand through the whole process. I love the selection of options available -- I made the top with the zip, 3/4 sleeves, crew neck and fuller bust option, and it was just what I was looking for. I also made the matching bottoms and they fit wonderfully, will definitely be a swim wardrobe staple!

Fantastic pattern! Perfectly drafted and easy to make with easy to follow tutorial. The princesss seams and color blocking options produce beautiful and fun rash guards.
