Everything I teach at my in-person How to Sew Swimwear workshop and more!
12 page pdf: material list, fabric selection, 2 construction options that can be applied to all swimwear, stretch direction, attaching elastic, sewing machine info + trouble shooting, glossary.
25 Exclusive step-by-step tutorial videos walking you through sewing a triangle top + bikini bottoms (all about 2 minutes long) using two different construction options.
How to know if this guide is right for me?
Basic sewing experience recommended but not required. You will need access to a sewing machine with a zig zag stitch.
PLEASE NOTE:
The pdf bikini pattern I use in the tutorial videos is not included with the guide, this allows you to choose the style you like best. The information is here to serve as a framework that can be applied to all swimwear.
This is the “soft launch” first edition, for early bird pricing. All of the content is here but I’m working on some updates to the design. If you purchase the first edition you will receive the updated version when it’s released at the end of June.
This is PART I of How to Sew Swimwear. There is loads to cover so sign up for the mailing list to be alerted about future guides going in depth on certain aspects of sewing swimwear. Feel free to send in requests!
