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

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:

Thanks for watching!

    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.

    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!

    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?

    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?

      @CowgirlSugarCookie 3 роки тому

      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
