This mix and match bikini is perfect summer! The pattern includes two top variations and two bottoms variations that all co-ordinate. Make all four styles in co-ordinating fabrics for the ultimate mix and match bikini or pick your favourite top and bottoms style and rock your stunning set at the beach!
The tops are drafted for a B-D cup but can easily be altered with a FBA (full bust adjustment) for larger or smaller cup sizes. There is a tutorial on how to do this on the Evie la Lùve YouTube channel, along with a whole load of other swimwear and lingerie sewing tutorials. If you are new to sewing swimwear and are looking for some guidance on the fabrics and notions needed, check out my 'Introduction To Swimwear' video.
This pattern is an advanced pattern due to the nature of fabrics, elastics and techniques required but if you are new to sewing swimwear, don't let that put you off. There are photos for each step and tutorials on the Evie la Lùve YouTube channel which super simplifies everything so don't be afraid to dive right in!
The skills required (or you will learn on the job) with this pattern are:
- Sewing with swimwear elastic
- Sewing with stretch fabrics like spandex or scuba
- Using a twin needle (optional)
