55+ swimsuit sewing patterns for women

Who is ready for summer weather? Or maybe a spring break vacation? I’ve often thought about trying to sew my own swimsuit instead of buying, it never seems like I 100% love what I try on. I rounded up a list of my options to share, please leave a comment if I missed any that you’ve tried or what you think of them if you’ve sewn one! Instead of trying to figure out how to draft a swimsuit pattern, print one of these PDF swimsuit sewing patterns out and start making it right away!

If you like organized lists like this, check out these other posts of mine!

Wondering where to buy swim fabric? Leave a comment with your favorite store, these are the ones I’m aware of so far:

Etsy offer unique prints and lots of solids from different, small shops
The infamous Mood Fabrics also has designer overruns with lots of unique options
Fabric Fairy carries a ton of prints especially good for kids

If you’re not ready to sew yet, pin this list of women’s swimsuit sewing patterns with this link or collage image; please click through to the original sites to pin individual photos!
