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.
