Instructions and sewing pattern for a girls‘ swimsuit and bikini

This sewing 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.

Fabric: Use only stretch fabrics.

The e-book includes 34 colored pages (DIN A4, pdf)
• 17 pages detailed photo instructions with many sewing tipps, fabric information, etc. Even if you’ve never sewn swimwear, here everything is explained.
• 10 Pages of patterns in 11 EU girls‘ sizes* (98, 104, 110, 116, 122, 128, 134, 140, 146, 152, 158)
• design examples
• add-on: the sewing pattern itself also comes as a large format pdf for plotter (with German labeling)
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.

The EU-sizes used convert approximately to these US-sizes:
68=6M • 74=9M • 80=12M • 86=18M • 92=2T • 98=3T • 104=4 • 110=5• 116=6 • 122=7 • 128= 8 • 134=9 • 140=10 • 146=11 • 152=12 • 158=13 • 164=14 • 170=15
European sizes are based on children’s height. If you know your child’s height, just convert it from inches to centimeters and select the EU size according to the height.

Please be aware that these are digital PDF-files you have to print yourself (“ebooks“), you will not receive a paper pattern via mail.  This pattern is optimized for DIN A4 paper, most will work fine on letter size paper as well.
