Make your own reversible bikini bottoms for pole, dance, swim, festivals or your handmade stretch wear wardrobe.
The Iris bottoms are cute, flattering and clever — featuring a reversible design with a soft scrunch detail at the top back of the pattern. They’re a beautiful way to learn scrunch bum construction without committing to a full gathered centre-back seam, making them a great skill-building project for confident sewists.
Make them in a bold print on one side and a solid colour on the other, or keep both sides tonal for a clean, wearable bikini bottom you can style your way.
