Main Fabric - This swimsuit has been designed for 4-way stretch swim fabrics with a stretch of 40-50%.

Notions
- 3/8-inch wide Cotton swimwear elastic - approximately 3 yards will be sufficient for all sizes.
- Elastic recommended is one with a cotton/rubber blend as it will last longer with chlorine exposure.
- OPTIONAL Bust Support Panel - can use a wider elastic at the hem.
- Do not use clear elastic - it is not strong enough.
- Thread to match - polyester is best as it stretches
Tools
- Sewing machine
- Optional twin needle
- Scissors
- Pins or clips
- Tape measure or ruler
- Tailor's chalk/fabric pen

The Ladies Ruched Swimsuit are a must, rise bottoms fit like a glove with no rolling when you move. The top gathers up just nicely.

Loved the simple and ruched look and fit
Jamie Adler –
Having never seen a swimsuit, I was a bit intimidated to begin, but the directions are so clear and easy to follow that I finished sewing in one day. What a joyful surprise to have a new swimsuit that I made!
Frauke Schiller –
I chose the plain front and the deep back and I really love the result. The armscye could be bigger and it could be a little bit longer for me, but it fits and looks really professionel, I definitely love the result and will keep the pattern in mind for another swimsuit for me and my daughter!

I would never have believed I could make swimmers but now my daughter and I have matching pairs. The pattern was easy to follow and comprehensive. My daughter loves the final product and even though it is winter here in Australia she was wearing it around the house!

An easy pattern for making your own swimsuits – follow the tutorial and together with the lining you’ll get a finished look! Just remember to check all the measurements and use a suitable fabric and elastic.
