OK friends, you asked for a swimsuit sew-along. So let’s have one!<\/p>\n

I’ll be sewing Lisette for Butterick B6358<\/a>, and I hope you’ll join me. But if you prefer to sew this season’s other swimwear pattern, B6360<\/a>, a lot of the tips and tricks will still apply to your suit. I won’t lead you through each of the steps, but you’ll benefit from a lot of the discussion and explanations, especially if you’re new to sewing swimwear.<\/p>\n

\"Join<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ll hold the sew-along starting May 23, and we’ll space out the days a bit so you’ll have time to keep up. Of course, you can join whenever you want, so if that week isn’t great for you feel free to participate whenever it’s convenient. The sew-along will still be here waiting for you, and you can add your photos until the end of June. (That will give you lots of time!)<\/p>\n

Pattern Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

This cute, lined swimsuit pattern can be made as either a one-piece or a two-piece. Both are close-fitting, cut on crosswise grain, and elasticized. The top has front ties, shoulder straps that cross at back, removable bra cups, and a bra hook at back. The bottom is high-waisted and includes a cute little back scoop and tie. This pattern is designed and intended for two-way stretch knits.<\/p>\n

Swimwear Sew-Along Schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n

This schedule may change as I continue to assemble each part of the sew-along. We may want to spend more time in some areas or move things around a bit for efficiency and clarity, but for now here is a tentative schedule:
