Get ready, babes! In MAY we are going to sew SWIMWEAR!
Join us Sunday May 17TH 10am-5pm. This workshop will be all day with a potluck lunch break!
There will be three styles to choose to make.
a two piece suit with panel bottoms and a tie front top. The bottoms can be made in low, mid or high rise and the length of band on the top is also customizable. The pattern sizes range from XXS-4X.
a two piece suit with panel bottoms (see description above) and a Tatum Top with drawstring ruching in the front that is fully adjustable. This pattern accomodates bust sizes 30’-56’.
the Sandpiper Swimsuit from Helen’s Closet. The Sandpiper Swimsuit is the ultimate sporty two piece for swimming, water sports, and fun in the sun! Choose high-waisted or low-rise bottoms and mix and match them with the Sandpiper Swimsuit top. Size Range: 0-34 (up to a 62″ chest/hip)
*You must have some basic machine sewing experience to attend this workshop. This class is appropriate for a confident beginner. Please choose your 1st and 2nd choice fabric colors from this link and include that information when you check out: SWIM FABRIC . I will do my very best to get your 1st choice but sometimes colors become unavailable. You can also choose different colors for you swim top and bottoms. Please leave detailed notes for me at checkout so I order exactly what you want for your suit. You will type your fabric choice(s) into the text box and then hit return or enter on your keyboard to proceed with the registration.
In this workshop you will learn:
how to measure your body and choose your size
how to sew knit swim fabric
how to add elastic
Included in this workshop:
swim fabric in your choice of color(s)
swimwear lining fabric
swim elastic
swim patterns to make your dream suit!
thread and sewing machine needles
6+ hours of guided and hands on instruction from Erika
access to a serger to finish seams
Please bring to the workshop:
a functional sewing machine if you have one (we have studio machines that you are welcome to use if needed. Please let me know and I will have one ready for you!)
Sharp fabric scissors if you have ‘em! We have studio scissors, but there never seems to be enough pairs to go around!
Something to share for our potluck lunch! This will be a long day of sewing so we will take a much needed break for food!
This in-person event will take place at BOLT Handmakers Society located at 556 S. Vista Ave, in the Vista Plaza. Please arrive on time. You can park anywhere in the front parking lot. There is also parking along the back of the building. Bring along a closed water bottle and snacks!
