DIY Girl swimming suit

DIY Girl swimming suit

Hi, have a happy day!!!

I try to explain in English because several people ask me to do it.

As you see it’s not my own language, so if I use some word not properly I beg your pardon.

Today we do a girl swimming suit. We need the girl’s t-shirt pattern and the panty pattern too.

 

We use ruler, colour markers, pencil, scissors, paper….

 We need the girl’s t-shirt  and the panty patterns.

We use  fabric with spandex (stretch fabric).

WE DON’T USE EASE SEWING/SEAM.

We use the paper fold in two.

NOTE: 

THE LEFT VERTICAL LINE (DOTS LINE) INDICATES THE LINE WHERE WE FOLD THE FABRIC SO WE PUT THIS PATTERN LINE (DOTS LINE) OVER THE FABRIC FOLD.

We start with the upper part ……

We have the girl’s t-shirt pattern…..

 SHOULDER

We look for the middle of the shoulder and we mark it, we decide the wide we want, in this case are 2 cm…

We mark in the both sides from de middle mark the 2 cms……

We have 3 marks ….

 DART

In breast line and dart we draw down 2cm…

Join to the shoulder (blue line)

COLLAR/NECK

We decide how much we want to cut down, in this case we cut down 4 cms….

We join with the shoulder (dots line)

 BACK COLLAR/NECK

In breast line We decide how much  we want to cut down, in this case we cut down 4 cms from this line  or we may cut down to waist line…

WE CUT OFF THE SWIMMING- SUIT PIECES 

We use double paper, a paper fold in 2…

We have the upper side from the swimming suit….

We cut off all the sides pattern…

 We cut off  the front collar  (less sloped line,dots line) ….

  

  

 

 We separate the 2 papers and we have the front part and the back part…

 

In the back pattern we cut off  the back collar (more sloped line,dots line)..

WE JOIN THE SWIMMING -SUIT PIECES 

Now we join both patterns, the upper and the panty patterns…

We join both patterns, we join the waist line of the panty over the hip line in the upper pattern…

We join the patterns:  the front swimming-suit (upper part and panty) and the back swimming-suit (upper part and panty).

HOW TO CUT IN FABRIC THE SWIMMING -SUIT PIECES 

 We put the "left vertical line" "the centre line" of the pattern over the "fold line" of the fabric

We cut the fabric by the edge pattern, we don´t use easy seam.

As always…we need to practice….any doubt ask me....
