Crochet Swimsuit Cover-up Dress

Hi there, I hope you are well. I finally finished my crochet swimsuit cover-up dress that I started at the beginning of February. I enjoyed the slow process and was happy with how it turned out. I used 9 skeins of off-white cotton yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook. For the pattern, I followed a YouTube tutorial from  Crochettoz . It's a clear and easy tutorial to follow, thank you so much 😍 Also, I shared my process of making this cover-up on my YouTube channel, click the video below if you want to see it. And please, subscribe to my channel if you like the video and want to see more in the future 😊😍 I took a few photos of the progress and the picture below shows the start of the cover-up dress. I did chain stitch until I reached 60'' and followed with double crochet stitch and then crocheted the patterns. I mostly crochet at night when I finish all the house chores and sometimes in the afternoon when I'm sitting on the sofa.  The cover

V-neck Cotton Top

Hello dear readers,
I was checking my wardrobe and found out it lacked a simple top to wear daily. So, I decided to make one last month in a yellow batik fabric detail here on my IG (in case you are interested to see it).
Apparently, one top wasn't enough and I made another in floral cotton fabric last week. 
I wore the floral top yesterday for Sunday out with my family, I paired it with me-made denim pants. I love the top, comfortable and easy to wear. 

The floral cotton fabric was from my stash and I still have leftover to make another top.   

For the pattern, I used my self-drafted basic v-neck top. It has a side front dart, short sleeve and finished neckline with a neck facing with a back button closure. 

After I cut the fabric, I sewed the top according to the usual manner and it was easy and fast. I did the top in less than three hours.

Here are the results, front, side and back views.





That's it for today, thank you for stopping by ❤
Happy sewing!

  2. I do so enjoy seeing your garments , and wanted to ask if you learnt your pattern cutting skills from a particular book or did you attend a course? It makes so much sense to make/design one's own patterns - they are so expensive these days!

    1. Thank you, Judy. I learnt pattern drafting from a book and also from Youtube which I think is the best because of the step by step with videos.
