Sewing swimwear need not be daunting under the gentle guidance of Chelsea Gurnoe of Friday Pattern Company. In this class, she walks you through stitching the Seabright Swimmer, a swimsuit that features a dramatically plunging neckline and optional long sleeves for style and sun protection. She demonstrates additional techniques including adding foam cups and attaching laced D-rings for more coverage, making this suit particularly customizable. You’ll work with swimwear fabric and quarter-inch elastics using any sewing machine to make a modern one-piece that is as empowering to make as it is to wear. Looking for Sewing supplies?
