Sophie Swimsuit from Closet Case Patterns
It’s still hot out, so there is time for more summer sewing. This is a vintage style, but a modern pattern so it comes in modern sizes. Both the one-piece and the two-piece offer the kind of fuller coverage--top, bottom, and waistline--that was the norm until the 1960s. These remind me of suits in the 1940s and 1950s. Swimsuits may seem tricky--all that elastic!-- but they are not actually that hard. And sometimes making it is the only way to get what you want when it comes to a suit. Who hasn’t spent hours trying to find the right suit. Plus once you figure out the fit, you won’t be satisfied with anything less. This pattern offers various ways to play with color and mix solids with prints. And there are options for adding underwires and foam cups too if you want them.
This is sold as a pdf pattern by itself or as part of an online class which promises to walk you through step-by-step.
