swim wear weekend

If you are dreading to buy your swimwear this season

(loud patterns or unflattering shapes)

this intensive swim-wear-making weekend might be just right for you:

Create your own bikini or bathing suit for this summer and get some tips on professional finishing techniques.

Depending on previous sewing experience students will assemble one of the above over the weekend.

A basic bikini pattern will be provided during the class, but students are welcome to bring along their own styles or adapt patterns from their own previous swimwear.
