Swimsuit fabric **Find our fantastic range of swim fabrics**
-
Swimsuit lining
-
Thread (polyester thread is good for sewing with knits because it has some give)
Optional:
-
2, 3/4” D-Rings for an optional lace up front closure.
-
Soft foam cups. Sizing up in foam cups is recommended for this suit.
-
Hand sewing needle (for sewing in cups).
SUGGESTED FABRIC:
You will need a fabric with 4 way stretch and at least 50% crosswise stretch. Keep in mind that your suit will be stretching both around your body and down it, so if your fabric doesn’t have 4 way stretch the it wont fit correctly. If you are making this as a swimsuit, you will need swim lycra. If you are making this as a body suit, any knit will do as long as it meets stretch requirements. You can use the same fabric for the outer fabric and lining or get separate lining fabric.
