Review: Threads Magazine weighs in on sewing your own swim suit
Every year I try on swim suit after swim suit. Either the leg holes are too small or the back length is too short or the straps are too long. I make do, because that's what you do, right?
Not according to Threads. The new summer issue has an in-depth article full of tips for sewing your own swim suit. From one-pieces to tankinis, the possibilities for adjusting and perfecting fit are endless.
The hardest part of sewing swimwear is, according to the seamstresses I've talked to, adding the elastic to the edges. The article in Threads discusses this a great deal and serves to dispel a lot of sewing anxiety.
Finding a pattern seems to be the trickiest part now!
