Notions
- 3/8-inch wide Cotton swimwear elastic - approximately 1.5 yards will be sufficient for all sizes.
- Elastic recommended is one with a cotton/rubber blend as it will last longer with chlorine exposure.
- Clear elastic may be used in the seams.
- Thread to match - polyester is best as it stretches.
Tools
- Sewing machine
- Optional twin needle
- Scissors
- Pins or clips
- Tape measure or ruler
- Tailor's chalk/fabric pen

My daughter loves her new swimsuit! The ruching in the front panel is such a great design feature and lends itself well to colour blocking. Pattern instructions are thorough and easy to follow. Another great pattern from Rebecca Page.
Mary Acosta –
Loved the simple and ruched look and fit
Jane Whicheloe –
Good clear instructions and always. Was great to get a swimsuit finally done. The cut and style is really flattering.
Liz Faber –
I would never have believed I could make swimmers but now my daughter and I have matching pairs. The pattern was easy to follow and comprehensive. My daughter loves the final product and even though it is winter here in Australia she was wearing it around the house!
Cindy Matthijssen –
We love this swimsuit! It’s a really nice model with the side panels and the diverse options. I made the most plain version for my daughter, it’s a big hit already. If I’m more confident sewing swim I might try the ruched version as well! The fit was a bit snug though, but my daughter still loves it anyway!
Frauke Schiller –
I chose the plain front and the deep back and I really love the result. The armscye could be bigger and it could be a little bit longer for me, but it fits and looks really professionel, I definitely love the result and will keep the pattern in mind for another swimsuit for me and my daughter!
Stephanie Tharp –
Great pattern, few things need to be tweaked for perfect fit, otherwise…its fantastic!
Keri Kiel –
My girls love this pattern. Perfect for scrap busting with left over swim fabrics for a simple and stylish suit
Maja Rus –
Quick and simple sew. I made those in 1 hour, very pleased with a result!!
Tara Erwin –
I absolutely love the ruched swimsuit! My girls look so cute in their new suits and I love the coverage it has! And I love that the higher back option uses so little elastic. Sometimes I don’t always have swim elastic or very little so it’s nice to have a suit pattern that doesn’t require much! And it’s such an easy swim pattern to follow! Definitely a great one if you are sewing swim for the first time or are wanting an easy swim sew. Thanks for another amazing pattern! <3 <3 <3

An easy pattern for making your own swimsuits – follow the tutorial and together with the lining you’ll get a finished look! Just remember to check all the measurements and use a suitable fabric and elastic.

What started out as (I thought) a complicated pattern became such a fun and easy sew with the usual easy to follow instructions! Cut to complete in just a couple of hours!!
Kristen Wilson –
Great little 2 piece swimsuit. Took no time at all to sew up.
Frauke Schiller –
It took me about 2 hours to sew this bottom from cutting until finish without preparing the pattern and I think that is quite okay. It is very easy to follow the instructions. I think it might be a little bit tricky for beginners to fix the elastic and work with sometimes slippy swim fabrics but with courage and patience – and of course some very good tips from Rebecca Page – it is definitely worth the effort.
