DIY Swimsuit from Bra Pattern: Day 2

I'm blown away!

Bra making always seemed like such a mystery. I am drawn to sewing difficult process and figuring out how to sew and fit them. This is a great demo on how easy it is to make a great fitting swim top. Thanks for your efforts in opening up the world of bra making and giving women a very detailed and helpful way to make their own. This is a great way to show how worthwhile it is to figure out how to fit and sew bra for oneself. You are very inspiring and motivating.

I really enjoy all your tutorials. I have a question. Using bra lining on the frame vs swimwear lining and I very curious to the binding on the underarm edge..is there a reason vs the regular swimsuit method of folding over the seam allowance and top stitching zigzag/cover stitch?

Hey, it looks really nice! I headed on out to Emerald Erin's site to check out the Black Beauty pattern. It looks like she's not shipping internationally at the moment; would you be able to tell me if I could use a different wire than the Orange wire she indicates for this bra..? Like the flexi wires from Bra Builders for example? As a beginner, I'm not too familiar with the differences in wires and how rigid they are. I've heard some people complain about some wires being far too rigid and uncomfortable.

[@LizSews]

You should be using a wire that fits your body best and altering the pattern to fit the wire. A rigid wire won’t be uncomfortable if it fits properly and it’s the best way to get support in styles like this that aren’t full coverage. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWO5i5hnqamefNk

@@LizSews Hey, I just watched the video. Thank you, Liz, for the explanations.

[@jettehansen8105]

Wow how lovely. I do love your videos. Are you using the walking foot when sewing the elastic ?

[@LizSews]

Yes. I use it almost 100% of the time
