Let’s Get Started!! Today, we are sewing our bottoms. I have broken today’s task into 3 different sections to cover each bottom option on the pattern. Section (1) covers sewing the View A bottoms. Section (2) covers the View B Bikini bottoms that come in either a low, mid, or high rise, and Section (3) covers the View B scoop bottoms. If you are not sure which bottoms to sew, you can see my side by side comparison post about the bottoms in the Day 1 post HERE.

(1) The View A One Piece Bottoms

To sew the View A bottoms, you will need pattern pieces 11 and either 12 or 13 (depending on which back style you prefer). We will be following steps 1-6 in the North Shore pattern. You can watch me sew the steps for View A HERE.

(2) The View B Bikini Bottoms

To sew the View B Bikini Bottoms, you need pattern pieces 15, 16, and 17 printed and cut out, and then select the rise you prefer (low, mid, or high). I have the high waisted shown above. Follow steps 1-5 and 7-10 in the pattern. You can watch me sew these bottoms in this video HERE. In the video, I am sewing the mid rise but the same steps apply whether you sew the low, mid, or high rise bottoms.

(3) The View B Scoop Bikini Bottoms

To sew the Scoop Bikini Bottoms, use pattern pieces 18 and 19 and follow steps 11- 16 in the pattern. You can watch my View B REVERSIBLE bikini bottoms sew along video HERE.

If you want to make scoop bottoms that are NOT REVERSIBLE and are lined with swim lining, you can follow my video on how to do that HERE.

Thanks for joining in with me today! I will see you back tomorrow. Tomorrow we get to sew our tops!
