swim — Blog — Stephanie M Decker

Hey all! I’m so excited for swim season! Last year I made two different suits that I have yet to actually use and this year I have plans for (hopefully) another 2 or 3 using patterns right here on this list! I had a bit more of an issue finding some swim patterns friendly to larger sizes but I found some of the styles that I actually plan on making up myself that I’ll be sure to let you know about once they’re done! If you don’t see your favorite pattern listed here, make sure you leave a comment and spread the love!

5+ Businesses for Swimwear Materials

It’s been a little while since I’ve been able to sit down and put together another listicle of my favorite shops but I figured, with summer here on full blast, that it’d be the perfect time to share some of my favorite shops and locations when it comes to gathering materials to make your own swimsuits! This blog post is only going to focus on where to find the perfect materials (like fabric, elastic, etc.) but next time I’ll be sure to post some of my favorite swimsuit patterns for you to take a look at! Now, let’s get to it!
