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!

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
- Fabric Mart carries designer overstocks and often has really cool options but you have to check back often
- JOANN carries a few swim prints and solids
- The infamous Mood Fabrics also has designer overruns with lots of unique options
- Fabric Fairy carries a ton of prints especially good fot 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!
