[@lisahurst8565]

I love all your makes. I like your swimwear outfit. I think I'm going to have to copy that.

[@blackhannahofficial]

Great stash-buster project . I have two store bought tops like these, they're perfect for Summer time sun 😎

[@NewsfromtheGrove]

So cute. Love your style. These will definitely go on my list for swim / summer wear! Thank you again for all you do.

[@laurihuhn4727]

Another very informative video. Thank you. I love those tops!

[@dianemontavon5670]

Thank you for showing the bra part of this. I have wanted to make a swim top with bra and this sports bra is perfect. Thank you again. Love all your tops, very pretty.

[@helenwood3199]

Ooo, I like the print bra with black overlay.

[@Saladmama57]

The fit is spot on! Looks great Karina. ❤

[@janicek6399]

I was able to purchase the Cali and a skirt pattern today before the sale is over😁

They all look so great,well done ..thankyou❤

[@balbea88]

Awesome! Just in time for summer in my area. I always appreciate your special touches. I've learned so much from you, thank you.

[@christinemartin9933]

Thanks!

[@oskarmolly]

Everything that you make is always so nice and you always look so pretty in everything that you wear. I'm like you, you would never catch me in a bikini. I found a swimsuit patter from the 1950's that has a small skirt attached and it's a one piece. I think I'm going to make that if I get the need to have to wear a swimsuit since I live on the Arctic Circle that need doesn't happen very often and I'm the mom of 4 so I don't have the body to wear anything skimpy.

[@lighthseskr]

Oh you must have read my mind. I have a pair of black swim long bike short style and was looking for a top, this is totally it and yes, so many other options and uses. Love this and your swim outfit. I'm right with you.

[@AshtownCreations]

I have been wanting to make this top since it came out! Thank you for this video!

[@normacooper6377]

These all look cute, based on the line drawings. (I bought a ready made one two years ago and it was very comfortable-not as revealing as I feared.) Probably need a new one this year? Swimwear suffers in the pool.🥴 Will check these out. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@laurajones4088]

Very cute Cali tops! Does the pattern include specific lengths for the elastic in the bottom band? I would measure a comfortable length for myself, but I would like to make this for my niece, too. Thanks, Karina.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Yep, there is a chart on page 9 with suggested length per size :)

[@BramptonGardener]

Ohhhhh this is great. I have the patten but havnet made it yet. Im excited to try. Do you think the overlay would work with a woven to mix it up???? Just curious.

[@judykski4916]

I really enjoy your activewear vlogs. I have a collection of this type of fabric that needs to become workout gear. Does your integrated sports bra provide enough support for a lively aerobic workout? You've perked my interest in this pattern, but I have to know that it will provide the support I need to use it for a vigorous workout. Thanks for the info on the Greenstyle and Cali sale.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

For better support, I created a fun trick, but you need a foam bra cup inside. Have a look at this method in this video. I've done the same with other sports bras too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3nRaqONnZmJaZI Otherwise, for my cup size, the three layers are not bounce free. I made these to lift weights and swim, so I made them simple.

[@judykski4916]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles That video was super helpful. I will be referring back to both of these in the very near future. I just broke an underwire in one of my expensive everyday bras and plan to reuse as much of it as I can. It is SO worth it to save old bras for projects just like these.

[@dianemontavon5670]

I'm not sure what type of elastic you used. I can only find 1 1/4 at WaWak so I think that size would be good. I need to know did you use Knitted, non-rolled, or braided elastic? Thanks

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

@@dianemontavon5670 you be can use any of the ones you mentioned. Mine is braided.
