The easiest option to purchase a new swimsuit is to buy it, but given the meager selection of models? presented in cheap stores and markets, as well as the prohibitive cost of designer products in branded boutiques, the idea arises of how to sew a swimsuit with your own hands. Moreover, this process is quite fascinating, without spending much effort, time and money, any housewife can master it. Another reason why women are often forced to sew a swimsuit with their own hands is the non-standard ratio of the size of the bodice and swimming trunks. Owners of a luxurious bust and narrow hips, as well as owners of figures of the Rembrandt era, are often forced to buy two sets of different sizes, and this, of course, is expensive. Therefore, another advantage of a hand-sewn swimsuit is that with its help you can adjust the individual characteristics of your figure, that is, hide flaws and emphasize advantages.
Fabric and material selection
So, we sew a swimsuit with our own hands. Photos of the stages are presented.
Before you begin the creative process, you need to purchase fabric. When choosing the base material, it must be borne in mind that it must be elastic not only along but also across. Very good for a bathing suit of your dreams, for example, supplex. It is not only as flexible as possible, but also has a huge range of all kinds of bright colors. An even more economical option is to use bathing suits bought at stock stores. Their specialized quality fabric can serve as an excellent basis for your masterpiece. Next, we need an oblique elastic trim for edging, threads, preferably waterproof, strap fasteners or decorative rings, and all other related accessories depend only on your imagination.
Building a swimsuit pattern
The next step will be a pattern. It’s not worth bothering for this, you just need to take the previous swimsuit that fits perfectly on your figure or underwear, cut it into parts, carefully place it on the fabric and fix it with pins.
Then with the help of chalk it is necessary to circle each element. Another little tip for beginner needlewomen: if this is your first swimsuit, then opt for a one-piece bodice in the form of a strip or classic triangular cups.
Do-it-yourself swimsuit
After all the above manipulations have been carried out and your pattern is ready, you can proceed to the second stage - sewing. It is very important when sewing the seams of a swimsuit to stretch the fabric well. It is imperative to sew a gusset in the swimming trunks, and treat the top of the panties with an overlock and sew a tie on it.
As for the bodice, the cups are also processed inlay. Only then we collect the top of our product, according to the original idea. Original ties, decorative elements, fashion accessories, rhinestones and sequins - all this can be used without restrictions if you sew a swimsuit with your own hands.
By turning on your imagination to its full potential, you can create a real masterpiece that will ideally sit on your figure and stand out from other girls.
