Greenstyle Waimea Sew Along – Day 3 – Ruched Side Hack

It’s Day 3 of the Waimea Sew Along, and I am so glad you have joined me! If you haven’t grabbed your pattern yet, you can purchase the rash guard HERE and the bottoms HERE. Don’t forget to use code WaimeaSALpattern for 25% off your pattern. Also, make sure to comment on my posts each day with your progress or any questions in the Greenstyle Creations Facebook group so you can be entered to win our prizes from our sponsors Greenstyle and Made Whimsy Fabric.

Today’s task is to finish your bottoms if you did not do so yesterday. Also, I have a fun hack for you! For today’s video, I am showing you how to ruche the sides of your swim bottoms for a fun little twist on this pattern. HERE is the video for today.

I did the high rise bottoms with the elastic waist option for this pair. In today’s video, I show how to construct the main. If you want to see how to add the lining and elastic, you will want to check out yesterday’s video.
