    Omg I really like this! I wish they would sell this type of swim wear in stores. It's a lot more modest than regular swimsuits

    Mimi G. I'm not sure if you read comments on your video but I want to personally thank you for your videos!! I learned how to sew using patterns from watching your video. You are amazing I absolutely luv luv your work. God bless

    Sergers can also be used for seaming knits and spandex fabrics, I'm sure you already know this but in case anyone else didn't. They are actually more secure seams and will still stretch as long as you have the right settings. A zigzag stitch would be better if you don't have a serger to begin with. It's so much faster than cutting down the seam allowance as well. Either way, great vid and cute swimsuit!

    Thank you so much for having a quality video about how to add the elastic. I have been having issues adding the elastic to the leg openings on my suit, I think its because the fabric is slightly thicker, hopefully this method works because I'm sick of using my seam ripper! :)

    Great job Mimi! Love that Levine's is working with you. Great tutorial! I've done swimwear and costuming for years, and love seeing how others do it. Nice job! In larger women's sizes I'd recommend a tad wider elastic for the waistline as it lays flatter on a full figure women.

  • @mermaidjaffa9135
    @mermaidjaffa9135 7 років тому

    If you can't find the fabric pens, you can use kids washable marker pens. I use Crayola Washable Marker Pens to draw out the pattern on spandex. It washes out so easily that I don't need to pre wash it before going to the pool.
