Learn to make swimwear!
If you’ve always wanted to sew your own swimwear but you’ve been intimidated by the prospect, our Intro to Sewing Swimwear Masterclass on Stitch School is for you!
Our brand new Zahra Swimsuit & Bikini sewing pattern will make you look and feel great and is exclusively available as part of our online swimwear masterclass. We’ll guide you every step of the way to help you create something that’s perfect for you, ready to sunbathe at the beach or take a dip in the pool. The Zahra pattern comes with lots of fit-focused features and variations to choose from:
Taught by Rosie and Layla, the masterclass covers everything there is to know about sewing swimwear. We’ve broken down the process into manageable sections so you can stop and pick it up again whenever it suits you from the comfort of your home. We’ll talk about how to choose the right fabric and supplies, how to make a toile and any necessary adjustments, then deep dive into the making of the Zahra Swimsuit & Bikini.
We’ll be by your side as you make your swimwear, ready to come to the rescue with tips, troubleshooting advice and to teach you every technique you’ll need to make your Zahra. With hours of video lessons you can follow at your own pace, the whole process will go swimmingly (see what we did there!)
We hope you’re feeling inspired to join us on Stitch School and make swimwear you will feel confident in. Our models Alma and Rosie can vouch for how fabulous and comfortable Zahra is! And if you’re looking for the perfect cover-up to go with your new swimsuit or bikini, check out our Sylvia Robe pattern.
The Zahra Swimsuit & Bikini is an intermediate pattern, but with the support of our masterclass, we believe it’s totally achievable for confident beginners up for a challenge.
