How To: Sew Straps For Swimwear

[@MelindaFoley-j4r]

Evie La Luve, your preferred method for the straps has now become my preferred method. I watched and tried so many different ways - but yours turn out perfectly. Just like all your knicker patterns and your other tutorials. Thank you

[@kiahjackson5932]

The sound of your scissors cutting was so satisfying!

[@EVIElaLUVE]

Haha I thought the same! I almost left the whole clip in but thought it would be boring for everyone watching!

[@kiahjackson5932]

EVIE la LUVE I fully support an entire video of just cutting!

[@deannmcdonald1432]

The trick with the loop is the best hack I've seen this year! Thank you! Great video!

[@zahzzieschahtz]

Indeed!

[@daneeinglis1894]

I thought so too and I've been sewing for years and years! I always had a fear of straps, nothing else, just turning those danged straps inside out!

[@daneeinglis1894]

I've been sewing since I was a 6 year old and you taught me a trick for turning out ties or spaghetti straps which has driven me nuts for years! I will be using it for making elastic ties for face masks! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Brilliant!

[@faharrington]

This is great tutorial. I have been looking for this for ages. Thanks so much.

[@SaraParrilli]

Amazing!! I didn't know either of these methods and this will surely revolutionize my swimwear making. Some of my patterns included something so professional like this. Thank you!!

[@SewPaMc]

Wow!! The second method is perfection!

[@roxannegabel3655]

that loop trick is awesome! i was thinking "Girl what are you doing, that ain't gonna work". Proved me wrong! very clever and a nice clean finish

[@ameliafayde]

Your tutorials are wonderful! You are a super clear and effective teacher! And your video quality is good which makes watching a lot more enjoyable! Keep it up! Do you have a website? Or just KZbin videos?

[@EVIElaLUVE]

Perfect Tutorial for first beginners like myself! Thank you

[@zahzzieschahtz]

Of all the videos out there, I always end up watching yours completely. Thanks so very much for publishing! Well, taught.

[@EVIElaLUVE]

Thank you! ☺️

[@mariyatsvetanova6482]

That was awesome idea for turning such strap up side down. Thank you!!!

[@maziyar7933]

life saver , an actual life saver

[@Wildevis]

I have done the first method but not the second and I really like it!

[@SoSoLabz]

Thank you for this tutorial! 💕 when you first sewed the rubber elastic to the fabric , how did you set your Serger as in what stitch length, width , 4 threads used and the differential feed was set at where? I remember you saying the knife was disengaged. Thanks in advance

[@nourmakki2575]

hi, how did you crate the gathers on the bikini top? did you stretch the elastic as you were sewing it?

[@lindaamerigoconsult]

Very clever methods. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@passiveincome30apywithbbcc11]

awesome, thank you!

[@clairesawyer3676]

Hi Evie La Luve! Ive been scouring the Internet to see if I can find information on making braided straps. My question is if you think I should make each strap with the elastic, then braid them together, or if you think making elastic free tubes and braiding them together would be enough support to maintain the stretch and hold. Just wanted your opinion! thanks :) I'm leaning toward no elastic due to bulkiness.

[@samanthafaye2012]

Fantastic video! Thank you!

[@RandiBarry]

Wow that is awesome you are talented! I love the bikini top in the back too.

[@jessicakell-millet2203]

What tension do you have set?

[@Zitathehandreader]

You're a genius, thank you so much to share!!

[@caitlinbrown7597]

Thankyou for the video, I've just rewatched it because I'm making your willow bra in the wrap around style into a bikini top and I'm ready to make straps 👙✂

[@EVIElaLUVE]

Hiya, I got it in bulk from a manufacturer but I have found some on this website englishcouture.co.uk/product/swimwear-elastic-6mm/ ☺️

[@AliceMcLoughlin]

Amazing! Where do you buy that rubber elastic from? I've checked your shop!

[@EVIElaLUVE]

[@cathypeterson2420]

I lost my String it's a one piece juicy couture .the halter string that just ties in fron of Chest two places with Removable hooks go around Neck sometimes its Not real comfortable .and nows gone

[@theoptimist_tt]

When you are using the serger, are u using all four threads?

[@EVIElaLUVE]

I used three threads.

[@SewingwithSessi]

any specific type of thread used for this strap technique. and also where do you get your thread thats on the thread holder rack...

[@EVIElaLUVE]

Just a polyester thread rather than cotton. The threads on the rack are Coats Moon threads like the ones available here: www.minervacrafts.com/shop/sewing/thread/m1000-m-coats-moon-polyester-sewing-thread?gclid=CjwKEAjw4IjKBRDr6p752cCUm3kSJAC-eqRtNklbOg42gEY-Q8UEAz7ket72kJptNO8kBjbck_39dBoC-GDw_wcB

[@PaigeTylerStevens]

EVIE la LUVE ah fab thankyou so much, it's time to upgrade my dinosaur haha

[@gomitolodilana]

Hi, where you buy swim fabric online?

[@EVIElaLUVE]

Funki Fabrics in the UK, the Fabric Fairy in the US (also great for swim elastics) and the sports lycra fabric from Spoonflower, all great for swimwear! As well as scuba fabrics from places like Fab Works and Fabric Styles.

[@gomitolodilana]
