The Sew and Tell Project

Are you as ready for summer as I am? The newest pattern release from Peek a Boo Pattern Shop is the High Tide Surfsuit. Ironically this testing call came smack in the middle of a blizzard that dropped 9 inches of snow on us here in the Upper Midwest. So obviously testing a swimsuit made a lot of sense! I made Miss M a ruffle suit with the snap crotch.

Here’s what you need to know about the High Tide:

-Sizes 3 months through 12 years (snap crotch option for 3 months through 4T)

-Plain suit, ruffle suit, skirted suit, or top option

-Cap sleeves, short sleeves, or long sleeves.

I was nervous about trying to install a zipper in swim material, but with some Washaway Wonder Tape and a bit of patience, it was not nearly as difficult as I thought. Amy has also made a video to help with the zipper installation and the neckband. I can’t wait to make the High Tide as rash guard tops for my boys as the zippers will make it easier to get those wet rash guards off!

I used the Paradise Floral swim fabric from last year for Miss M’s suit, but there are so many other cute options available at Peek a Boo Pattern Shop that I’m already trying to decide on which to use for Miss M’s next suit!

The sweet little ruffle adds such a fun detail to the suit, and one of my favorite features of the suit is the zipper guard behind the zipper protecting the neck and chest from the zipper.
