Happy Sewing!
EXCELLENT tutorial on pattern adjustment. So helpful.
Great tutorial, Kim. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Looking forward to the rest of the videos in this series.
Thank you for making this video. I'm cutting out a multi size swim suit pattern. I wasn't sure whether to use my full bust measurement or my high bust. You answered my question.
I like how your suit turned out.
Hi Kim!! Fabulous tutorial on showing how to measure yourself, this really helps.. Also thanks for showing how to grade your pattern.. Swimsuit looks great on you....
💜💜🧵🧵
Thank you for the tutorial! It turned great!
You are such a good teacher! You give me hope that I can get better at fitting Thank you.
Excellent tutorial!!!!! Thank you xx
Thank you so much!
Very helpful! Thank you.
final suit is adorable
This was awesome! Thank you! Also love the pattern placement. So symmetrical 😍❤️❤️❤️
I really like how your suit turned out.
Seeing you adjust from one size to another on your pattern was very helpful. Thanks!
Love the suit...thanks so much for sharing!! I think I will tackle a suit for myself. I hate that I can't get one that fits my 5'11" body...
You look great in your swim suit!
You are such a good friend to us! I have never tried a bathing suit but you just put out your hand and walk us through these scary projects and make, at least, me feel, of course, I can do this. Thanks.
The bathing suit is so elegant on you, I love the fabric. Thank you so much for showing us how to do the measuring.
Thank you for a great tutorial! Where did you source the lining?
This was fantastic, Kim! You have given me the courage to make my own swimwear after sewing for over fifty years! We're not going to Mexico, but are headed to Greece in August, 2020, and I can't wait to sew up several new swimsuits for that trip! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! Hugs!
Wow, that sounds like a great trip! Santorini is on my bucket list! You will have to share some photos of your makes on your trip! Definitely keep watching this series. I will be teaching a new technique with each swimsuit. We are also going to do some coverups and a men’s board short swimsuit.
Thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!! So very helpful. It turned out beautiful
Thank you!
THANK YOU! very helpful, inspire me to try it, I have toy with the idea but the cups was an scary thought, you clarified for me
I am so excited to get started on my swimsuit! Thank you for giving me more confidence to make up the fabric I bought last fall to make one🤗
Thanks for sharing, makes a swimsuit sewing not so intimidating
Great video Kim. Thank you! I have an oldie Kwik Sew Swim & Action Wear master pattern book. It includes how to sew the items, how to color block, how to customize the pattern. Very cool book. Anyway...I just made a cute swimsuit. It’s a two piece. I altered the bottoms to come up 3” higher, but if I want more sun...I can fold the bottom over onto itself. Super cute. Next on my agenda is a one piece suit. I have a Butterick that I want to try. It’s B6358. I usually have difficulty with the lining matching the edges of the swimwear while sewing on the elastic. This time I basted it together and it made the elastic sewing easier.
Can’t wait to see your vacation wardrobe!
Great tutorial Kim! I think I may make a swimsuit this year! ❤️
Great pattern fitting tutorial, Kim! Love your new suit, fabric is gorgeous! Thanks again for sharing :)
Thank you so much!
This is so helpful. Thank you! "Known point...to known point."

Thank you! I want to try this in the summer, and will use this tutorial 😃 🇨🇦 and Me Made Mexico sounds great √
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I just might jump on the bathing suit bandwagon.
Thank you soooooo much. It was so interesting to see you making the adjustments on the paperasse pattern. I hope some day you 'll make the same for pants or jeans. I would be very happy 😀
Hello Lilliane! Thank you so much! I did a jeans fit video last summer:

@@dorothysdaughtersews ho. Really ? I am going to watch this one very quickly. Thank you very much 👍
Wow. Thank You so so much. I have wanted to make a bathing suit for a couple of years now. What kind of fabric do I need for the lining?
Hi, Sandy- I use a swim lining from Joann fabrics. Sometimes, I’ll use power mesh for support or tummy control just on certain pieces, however it didn’t do that this time.
Dorothy’s Daughter Thank You.
And I thought I was the queen of scotch tape! Thank you for showing us til method. A picture is worth many words!
That’s my new title, “queen of scotch tape”. I do go through it quickly. We found a multi-roll package at Costco that was pretty reasonable. PS - don’t tell my husband how much tape I use- he will cut my supply off, LOL
Love this! You make it look so easy. How do you decide where to make the lengthening line? Could you put some in the upper part and some in the bottom part?
There is a lengthen/shorten line. If you are balanced, you would use that line. I know that I have a long torso and a short rise, so I decided to add the length above my waist. As you get to know your body, you begin to predict the adjustments you make.
Dorothy’s Daughter thanks!
😀
Kim, what about the crotch fit...upper leg and crotch width, front to back?
Hi, Debbie- that’s a great question. I would recommend doing a muslin to check it- perhaps just use fabric from a thrifted bathing suit. I feel like problems with that would be rare in a swimsuit because of the high stretch properties of Lycra.
