Find your swimsuit size

The very first step is to get your vital statistics.  You have to measure your bustline, waist, and hips.  Make sure that you bring with you the list of your body measurements when you shop for patterns and fabrics.

Shop for a pattern

The next thing that you should do is to buy a pattern.  You can buy this in brick-and-mortar specialty stores.  You can also find this in online stores.  Before you purchase, make sure that you study the various designs and styles on the catalog and choose the one that would suit you best.  Aside from this, you also have to ensure that the size of the pattern you choose matches your measurement.

Choose a fabric

For the fabric, buy only the amount that you will be needing.  If your pattern includes skirts, make sure that the fabric is large enough for cover-ups.  You should also pay attention to the colors and designs of the swimsuit that you are going to make. There are plain and there are also printed fabrics.  The choice should depend on what design you are most comfortable with. You should also ensure that the fabric is of good quality.  It is best to opt for one that has a large amount of spandex for better elasticity.

Buy other materials

There are various materials that you need to purchase aside from the fabric.  These include the thread, the lining, and other things that you will use to accessorize your bikini.  You should not also forget to buy elastic for the neck hole, armholes, and leg holes.

Cut and sew

When every thing you need is within your reach, start cutting the fabric according to the pattern.  You should then read the guidelines on sewing, which usually come with the pattern you buy.  Consider the tips that the guidelines provide for a more efficient sewing.
