About this Sew-Along:
Stitch up a cool, custom swimsuit perfect for summer soaks. Join Amanda Carestio, the editor behind Sew News magazine and host of the Sew & Tell podcast, to learn how in this sew-along.
With cool color-blocking and unique one-strap design, this one-piece is classic yet stylish and distinct…and also comfortable! The single strap design makes for easy customization depending on your torso length. A full lining provides full and secure coverage.
Follow along with Amanda and sew a swimsuit today. Start with tips for selecting the right swimsuit fabrics and materials, picking the right size and working with swimsuit fabrics. Start by assembling the swimsuit and the lining with basic piecing on the serger or sewing machine. Next, nest the pieces to install the lining. Then it’s time for the elastic: learn tips for installing elastic at the leg openings and then at the neckline…and you’re done!
