Swim Week: Cabana Swim Bottoms from Peek A Boo Patterns

Swim Week: Cabana Swim Bottoms from Peek A Boo Patterns

Swim Week is still going strong, and we are showing off the super versatile Cabana Bottoms from our affiliate Peek a Boo Patterns.  The great thing about this pattern, is that you can pair the bottoms with any swim top you like (I feel like the bottoms of two piece suits wear out faster than the tops).  This pattern comes in size 3m-12y and includes basic bottoms, mini ruffle bottoms, skirted bottoms, and a dance/swim skirt.

Picking the right Pattern for YOU: Romper Comparison

Picking the right Pattern for YOU: Romper Comparison

As we look at planning a collection of clothing for our kids over the next few weeks, you will be faced with many decisions about patterns.  It is quite normal for designers to have similar patterns in their repertoires, or even to release a similar pattern at the same time.  It is merely a response to supply and demand, and giving customers what they are begging for.  But as the consumer, it can be difficult to figure out which to buy when two amazing designers have similar patterns.  You are choosing between 'good' and 'good', so you have to figure out what the important things are to you in a pattern and buy accordingly.
