If you are using a printed fabric, cutting it with the right side of the fabric facing up will greatly help you see the pattern line clearly.

Remember that you are wearing only the swimsuit and nothing else, so make sure that you provide the bust support you need. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can use foam cups for light support. Make sure to use those that are intended for swimwear and not for those intended for lingerie &#8211;those cannot stand up long exposure to chlorinated water or salt water and can also absorb more water than those intended for swimwear. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/shutterstock_241949671.jpg\" alt=\"sewing swimwear\" class=\"wp-image-36869 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/shutterstock_241949671.jpg 667w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/shutterstock_241949671-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/shutterstock_241949671-434x650.jpg 434w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/shutterstock_241949671-100x150.jpg 100w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 667px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 667\/1000;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/shutterstock_241949671.jpg\" alt=\"sewing swimwear\" class=\"wp-image-36869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/shutterstock_241949671.jpg 667w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/shutterstock_241949671-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/shutterstock_241949671-434x650.jpg 434w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/shutterstock_241949671-100x150.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another choice for the chest support is by using an underwire. This is by far the most reliable bust support for swimwear. However, it would also depend on your swimwear design to determine whether you can insert an underwire. If you expect you're going to need the support of an underwire, look for swimwear patterns that allow you to use them. And when you make one, be sure to size correctly for maximum comfort while swimming.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your thoughts on sewing swimwear?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What are your thoughts about sewing your very own swimwear? &nbsp;I've been thinking about adding a bathing suit to <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/workout-wardrobe-progress-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the workout wardrobe series<\/a> we've been working on since January. &nbsp;Would you be interested in future projects and tutorials about sewing swimwear?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please share in the comments below. &nbsp;We'd love to hear from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n<h2>If You'd Like To Support Our Site<\/h2>\r\nIf you want to help us continue to bring you a wide selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/free-sewing-patterns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free sewing patterns<\/a> and projects, please consider buying us a coffee.\u00a0 We'd really, really appreciate it.\r\n\r\n<center><div class=\"ko-fi-button\" data-text=\"Buy me a coffee!\" data-color=\"#ff5f5f\" data-code=\"\" id=\"kofiShortcode578Html\" style=\"float: none; text-align: left;\"><\/div><\/center>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is most people&#8217;s favorite season. &nbsp;During summer, there are of course a lot of activities that we can do and one of the fun things is swimming. &nbsp;And for this to be the most fun, having good looking and well fitting swimwear is a must. &nbsp;However, many readers find \u2026 <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/tips-sewing-swimwear\/\"> Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr; <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":309,"featured_media":36874,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[4,159],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36644"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/309"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36644"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36644\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72302,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36644\/revisions\/72302"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
