Tutorial and sewing pattern for a girls' swimsuit and bikini
This ebook includes three variants of a simple, straight-cut basic swimsuit: - a rather girly version with small flounce - a very simple, sporty swimsuit - and a sporty bikini.
Difficulty: All three models are sewn quickly and need very little fabric. However, some sewing experience (especially with stretchy jersey materials) as well as an overlock machine are highly recommended.
The swimsuit is designed for children who do NOT wear diapers. Therefore, it is unfortunately NOT suitable as a onesie pattern for older children.
PLEASE NOTE: My sewing patterns don't include the seam allowance, it needs to be added when cutting out the pieces. All measurements are in centimeters / meters.
