Fun and modern sewing tutorials every Tuesday for kids and adults!
Swimwear Sewing 101- Sew your own swimsuits!
In this course I am breaking down the process of sewing a swimsuit into five easy-to-follow steps.
Step One: Choose and Cut Your Fabric
Step Two: Sew Shoulders, Side, and Crotch Seams
Step Three: Baste Main Suit and Lining Together
Step Four: Apply Elastic
Step Five: Fold Over and Topstitch Elastic
In the video I am using my own girl's Poolside Swimsuit pattern (girl's sizes 2-12) and I am offering it for FREE for all who sign up for my newsletter. Please see this post to sign up and get your pattern too:

Even if you want to use a different pattern, this video will help you feel more confident and give you the expertise to get started.
Thanks for watching!

I was so thrilled to make it but it seems that the link doesn't work.. 😔 however it's super helpful video! Thank you very much for the detailed instructions ❤
I see people asking for a pattern.
Thank you so much for simplifying putting elastic in right!
It's great to learn, but the Website Expired.
I've looked at a lot of soft dollhouse books for my grandkids and this is my favorite. Great Job! Do you sell the pattern for this?
do you sell the pattern and instructions on how to make it please? I absolutely love it!!!!
WOW! Cutest thing ever! Wish I had those skills!❤
I'm gonna try this. Can you do a 60's 2 piece.
What machine are you using? Do you have recommendations?
Your method of sewing elastic is helpful. 10 times better than other methods. No need to guess how much elastic I need. I just pin down, pull and sew as I go. I upgraded my swimsuit with leftover fabric and I can't wait to make my own bikini.
Can we not use elastic?
You really need it to keep the suit tight to the body
I signed up and never got the pattern
Is your knife on when you are sewing the elastic with the serger?
Awesome tutorial - thank you so much for sharing this video.
Have you considered making and selling natural fiber cloth swimsuits? If you do let me know.
Thank you for sharing, so helpful!
what needles are you using in your serger?
🤭
I would have liked to see a close up of the finished product and what the actual finishing stitch was that you used. Great tutorial, thanks
Sooooo helpful! Thank you.
Look how excited the kids are bless their mam xx
So where is the pattern everyone is complaining after subscribing they have no free pattern
Excellent info on making swimsuits. The tip on stretching 25% in the neck/front, armholes and front of crotch while using 75% stretch in the booty area was especially helpful. You make it look super easy. Thank you!
This was an extremely helpful tutorial! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything so thoroughly.
Oh my god, this is a great video!!
I've looked at so many tutorials and yours is the one that makes the most sence to me and tht i am able to understand THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you!
I thought we were going to see the serged edges and then when step 5 came along it blew my mind
is this pattern still available? I have subscribed to your mailing list but have not received anything.
Thank you very much for sharing the method about 25% and 75% stretch of elastic onto the fabric, i had bought several swimsuits from Macy store, as well as from Viet Nam, none of those are fit, and I had tried to sew one by myself.
I subscribed and didn't recieve a pattern
Thank you for a wonderful detailed video on attaching lining and swimwear elastic. Can't wait to make some for my grand babies. Make more videos for us!
I know this video is old but you are such an awesome mom! I hope she enjoyed wearing it. I have a 3 year old grand daughter who loves to dress up. I am having fun making her all kinds of outfits.
The pattern is not available.
How can I get your pattern?
You don’t send patterns after subscribing to your mailing
I honestly loved this video it taught me alot I'm 16yrs old and I love sewing I'm also starting my own business don't even know how to use a sewing machine but I'm looking forward to learning I actually making beautiful swimsuits and clothes with my hands .
how did you learn how to sew?
Can you make swimwear from scuba fabric?
This is absolutely amazing! Do you have a tutorial that is for purchase? I clicked the link in the description and it did not give me an option. THanks!
I don’t know if I missed it but what thread are you using?? Anything specific for swimwear?
Where do you recommend purchasing swimwear fabric?
Check out Raspberry Creek Fabric. Love their fabric and prices are great!
How did you do the fold over and top stitch so effortlessly? My machine has problems doing that many layers and the stitches skip and/or the bobbin gets all clogged up. I even used a ball point needle and it still skips stitches :( What settings did you use or is it my machine?
Thank you!
Are you sewing the shoulders, sides and crotch using a zigzag stitch? A closeup on the stitching would be helpful. Also, when using a zigzag, how wide do you set the stitch?
What type of fabric you used?
When you using the serger to sew in the elastic do you turn off the knife blade?
I was wondering same thing... But I watched the video again and you can see a small string of fabric coming off as she serges so the knife if on. I'm worried I'll cut into the elastic
Excellent, excellent tutorial!!!
What fabric you used to line swimsuit?
I have watched the video three times. My elastic finally looks correct. Today I heard something new about the back leg. Thank you.
