Hello! I have almost finished making the Bee swimsuit top and found two issues with the base design/instructions:
- The Band Tie in the original design isn’t long enough
a) the pattern of band seems to be designed to have two band lengths sewn together, but the instructions on the pattern only indicate one piece is needed
b) the sewing instructions make no reference to the flat side of the band nor any mention of extending the length
- The cups are not symmetrical
a) when cutting, the cup pattern has to be flipped for two of the four cup pieces; the design should either be made symmetrical or two cups of the pattern should be offered in the design
b) the sewing instructions should be updated to indicate 2 sets of 2 cups
c) the sewing instructions should indicate which orientation the cups need to be assembled
d) if using the reversible design (which I didn’t use) instructions and design should indicate one of each type of cup should be cut from each of the two fabrics
I hope this helps! Is there a way to suggest this directly on the design? Also, I may be wrong on all of this, as it’s my first clothing patterned creation.
