Katie. The 'Oakley' style is the gift that always keeps giving ladies legs for days ! Great first attempt at your Edgewaterave version of this classic high legline bikini and could we see a full coverage option in the future with centre back seam ? V.

Just always love your ‘ different ‘ ways of assembling the garments!😍. So funny yet sooo effective! Thanks for your creativity! 👍🏻😍

[@ines3363]

I love this style! Can this be done without the waistband and non-reversible ?

[@mindycham7442]

You mention that these bottoms could be made reversible, but how would you go along sewing them? Would I follow the construction method used in the Savannah bottoms video?

[@makeebacyrus7727]

I was waiting for this 🥰😍

[@joserios3765]

Good job

[@prostheticballerina]

When you say zigzag, do you mean the elastic stitch aka the lightening bolt stitch on the Pfaff? I have an Expression so I would like to use the exact same stitch as you!

[@audreyrosefowler]

Could this pattern be done with the waistband left out?

[@EdgewaterAve]

Yes absolutely! You can follow the same instructions as for the Ranger Bottoms if you do it that way

[@lashawnhodge4777]

Did you update the pattern since this video? My pattern looks different. My front piece and back piece don't look like they are made to cut on the fold.

[@lashawnhodge4777]

Nevermind! You mention that you changed the pattern at the end of the video!

[@andreabush1742]

I love your patterns. I buy lots if them but it would be helpful if you slow down the video sewing and construction of parts for beginners. You speed up the videos and that is a bit frustrating. I am not a beginner but my son’s girlfriend is and she needs to see what things should look like. It would be helpful to show what the elastic looks like after you apply it. Thanks very much. You are an amazing young business woman (person)!

[@EdgewaterAve]

That's very helpful feedback, thank you! The next videos I make I'll pay special attention to slowing down the pace while I'm editing

You can slow down the TH-cam speed using the three vertical dots in the top right corner of the screen. This will allow you to see her movements in slow motion

I'm a man and I wore my yellow speedo to Newport beach. And got comments.

[@caramlshop]

I’m just gonna say it’s funny that I’m realizing in this video that your nails match the fabric you’re working with.

[@EdgewaterAve]

Didn't mean to do that!
