Sewing Techniques You'll Learn:
You will learn how to work with stretchy swim fabrics while keeping your stitches smooth and precise, even when the fabric wants to move in every direction.
You’ll learn how to add elastic so it fits comfortably and securely around leg openings, armholes, and necklines. You’ll also discover how to sew clean finishes, practice topstitching for a polished look, and attach linings that give your suit structure and support from the inside out.
As you go, you’ll gain confidence in grading between sizes, adjusting the pattern for your shape, and refining the trunk length to make your swimsuit feel like it was made just for you.
By the time your swimsuit is finished, you’ll have more than a custom-fit garment. You’ll have a set of versatile sewing skills that will serve you well in other projects like activewear, lingerie, or everyday knit garments.

Sizes:
This PDF sewing pattern comes in sizes XXS - 6XL.
This pattern was drafted for our Curvy Fit Size Chart that is drafted for the height of 5’5”/165.10 cm. The instructions include steps for adjusting the pattern for trunk length differences if needed.
Fabric Recommendation:
This pattern is designed to be made using swim fabrics as lycra, athletic or performance knit with a minimum of 65% 4-way EQUAL STRETCH. You need a good quality fabric with good recovery. (Polyester/Spandex, Nylon/Spandex)
For the lining you can use swimsuit lining or a thin swimsuit fabric, which also has a minimum of 65% 4-way EQUAL STRETCH. If you use a lining with less stretch, 2-way stretch etc, then the swimsuit will become much tighter and won't fit anymore.
Fabric options may include, but are not limited to: Swim Fabrics, Lycra, Polyester/Spandex, Nylon Spandex and Performance Knit.
This pattern includes:
- Print-at-home files: Letter and A4 size pattern pieces, with a layered printing option for easy tracing.
- Projector file: A convenient projector file with layers for those who prefer a projector-based cutting method.
- Copy shop file: An A0 size file with layers for professional printing.
