Really, excellent tutorial and process. I must tell you that after paying for bra-making classes to learn underwire bra making skills, your swimsuit tutorial is much more to the point, and filmed to support the viewer. Thank you again as always for sharing your hard earned knowledge.
Hello I am a mom of 4 and don't want to show my tummy but want to push up my girls. Can you do a video on how to make a non skin tight tankini with a bra. Thank you i just discovered your site and I am so excited.
Hello I’m daisy starting out bathing suit I’ve done dresses since I was a girl became a fashion designer now interested in wire bathing suit love the tutorial just would like to learn how do I ad a cup and wire. If you have any tutorials on that and were do I get your patterns?
Excellent tutorial. I really like the way you explain every step and the reason for them. Also the little tips and tricks you give. Your tutorials are very easy to watch and listen to partly because I enjoy the way you chat as you do have a very pleasant speaking voice, enhanced by your soft accent. I've already got a kit (as I live in Northern Ireland, bought in UK) now to work out which pattern to get! I think the Cindy would possibly work well for me as I like the deeper band style, particularly because I've a prominent ribcage and I feel it will sit better on me because of that problem. If you feel another bra style would benefit me, your advice would be appreciated. Its a congenital rib deformity, not particularly noticible at present as its covered with more flesh than normal and as my breasts have increased following a long course of steroids, it doesn't show so much, but, it is a problem when trying to get a bra to fit, which is the prime reason for wanting to make my own......
It sounds like the Cindy would be a good option for you! Defiintley sew a mock up first, since the fit can take some alterations especially if you have specific issues you are working with. It tends to have a quite longline naturally. I often trim about 1" off the total length. Thank you so much for your comments! I really enjoy making these videos :)
Sarah, thank you so much for your very prompt response. I truly appreciate it. I will take your advice re the mock up. Not only are your tutorials excellent but your replies are too.... How do you make the time!!

What a perfect tutorial (more like a full class)...thank you! I have made bras, but never a swimsuit...May I ask a question : Why did you sew the wire channeling towards the cup of the bikini instead of the bodice (like when you make a bra)?
I’ve been stalking your videos and I really enjoy them, very helpful and informative. My question for you is: could you sew the Cindy bra without underwire? I have some RTW bras that I mostly like that are shaped similarly to your Cindy but they don’t have underwire, which is what I want. Thanks so much for your videos😘
Will you ever make this pattern in a dd+ version? I absolutely adorable this model, but I'm not experienced enough modify the a-dd pattern correctly to a H-I cup 😅
Great tutorial! I was wondering where you got your fabric from? I've been looking for tropical prints like these everywhere but none have the right ratio of pink and green that I like.

Hi, just bought this pattern. The terms you use are different and they’re a bit confusing. On the pattern, it says “lower side cup” and “lower front cup” but you’re calling them centre cups. Do you have a… little translation guide or something? Haha
Sorry. I haven’t had this specific feedback before. They are both part of the cup. There is a side portion and a (centre) front portion to the lower cup. Then an upper cup piece.

Elizabeth Pulido whoops! Good catch. Sorry about that inconsistency! Chalk that up to the fact that I don't sew many underwire bras!
Elizabeth Pulido what do you mean? So you saying when you flipped up and stitched the other side it should of been stich downward instead of upward?
I think she meant, so that the channeling lays towards the band instead of the cup.
Sarah Norwood oh okay. Thank you, have you tried so that the channeling lays towards the band?
Elizabeth Pulido
Do you think it would look nice even without the underwire?
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❣️

I am SO sorry for the delay! You could experiment with removing the underwire. It will just create a garment that doesn't sit as close to the ribcage.
Sarah Norwood No worries hon, I appreciate it. Thanks so much!

Hello! What thread are you using for swimwear? Thank you for sharing :))
100% polyester thread is the best for swimwear!
Hi Sarah great tutorial where do i get power mesh
I have a video on where to buy supplies. You can view that here: ua-cam.com/video/Wx9kuL7sXA4/v-deo.html
Where did you get your fabric ?
Mam u cut cloth already so can't understand how cut this how much inch or cm u take plz describe
Hello! you can purchase the pattern through my website: www.ohhhlululingerie.com/product/cindy-underwire-bodysuit-and-separates-pdf-sewing-pattern/
where is part 2?
Which fabric?
I used the athletic knit from spoonflower.
Don't the metal underwires rust?
They are designed to withstand being wet. Is this a problem you have encountered in the past?
