Guess who's going to Mexico?!
In June. OH DEAR GOODNESS I'M GOING TO MELT TO DEATH. I can't really handle anything over 25C/77F, so uh, yeah this should be interesting. It's for a friend's wedding though, and the resort we're staying at sounds lovely, so I'm determined to suck it up and wear as little as possible.
Speaking of, I'm working on a few pieces to bring along. I want to sew a bathingsuit or two, and I'm even considering a bikini, based on
everyone telling me that's all I'll want to wear. I bought McCall's 6569 on my last visit down south, and placed an order for everything I need with
Bra-Maker's Supply (hooks, padding, fabric, liner, elastic, etc.). I've even started converting an older bra into a bikini, using
this tutorial!
I started yesterday, and should've finished it, but other things got in the way. I suspect that this is the source of my
Startitis - I've been itching to start sewing swimsuits, but with ongoing renos my sewing room is acting as storage and there's just no doing anything in there. But yesterday I got desperate and hauled out my sewing machine to the livingroom. This, I suspect, is going to be the only way I'll get any sewing done.
I also started a pair of shorts last fall that I'd like to finish up for this trip, a pair of Grainline Studio's
Maritime shorts. Although at the moment, I have
no idea where they are, so we'll see about that.
In related knitting news, I've knit about 11 inches of my
Avana coverup. This thing is just flying, and I'm kind of wondering if I can finish it this weekend while camping!
Speaking of, I should probably go help the boyfriend pack. Have a good weekend all!
Yes, bikinis in Mexico. A one-piece is fine if you are going to the pool for a few hours, but if you are going to be living in your swimsuit, you need two pieces for ease of going to bathroom.
