How funny. We were supposed to go on a little camping on the beach trip this week.

This cute little swimsuit was supposed to get used today, at the beach.

Unfortunately things just didn't work out right, and we didn't get to go.

So today I will share this adorable little swimsuit and dream of ocean waves, the breeze, the calming sound....but also be happy I don't have to deal with real sand!!

I know many people are intimidated by swim material, but if you go carefully, and baste before serging, it's not so bad.
