Suit Up For Summer Blog Tour 2021: Day 1

It’s day 1 of the Suit up for Summer blog tour hosted by me and Sew Sophie Lynn! 

You can see previous years here and here.
If this is your first time being a part of it, here's what you need to know! 
This tour is chalk full of swimsuit inspiration for the whole family with 22 bloggers total. Every day, Raspberry Creek Fabrics and myself, will have a post, sharing links to each of the daily bloggers along with that days giveaways. There are lots of giveaways!!
Giveaways will be held over on Instagram and you can easily find it using the hashtag: #suitupforsummer2021 or heading to Raspberry Creek Fabrics Instagram.
There is also a discount code to get 15% off of all the swim at Raspberry Creek Fabrics!

For my first suit I went with the Light blue and red Tossed Crab print. I think the crabs are just adorable and I love how vibrant the print is. I paired it with the Micro Black Stripe which is a perfect coordinate.

If you've never sewn with swim before, know that Raspberry Creek's swim is the way to go! Not only do they have a good selection of prints available all year long, they are the PERFECT weight for swim. They're a bit heavier than most of the swim available and the matte makes it so it has some good grip and isn't as slippery as a lot of other swim out there. It's really a dream to sew with. It is also UPF 50+.

Raspberry Creek offers all your swimsuit needs with:

The pattern I used is Little Lizard King Sanibel. Sanibel comes in sizes 12 months to 14 girls. It also has so many options!
There are:

2 neck options: regular and scoop
3 style options: simple, ruffle neckline, tie front
Optional flutter sleeves

Bottoms options include: 
simple, simple paneled, gathered paneled
optional tie belt

I chose the basic neck with tie front and simple bottoms with the optional tie belt.
