Fabric Recommendations
This pattern is designed for swimsuit knits with a high amount of stretch (50-60%). Fabric with lycra or spandex will hold up the best. If youโre using the suit for swimming, youโre going to want to avoid fibers that hold a lot of water (such as cotton).
Notions
4 yards ยผโ wide elastic
Stretch sewing machine needle
OPTIONAL: 1-2 yard ยพโ wide elastic (if you want to add elastic to the waistbands on the top and bottom)
OPTIONAL: Soft foam cups (if you want a little more coverage)
OPTIONAL: power mesh to go between layers of fabric for added support (youโll need about a yard if youโre lining the whole suit)
Yardage Requirements
You may need to purchase extra yardage if your fabric has a heavy nap, is directional, striped, or has an obvious repeat.
