DIY Swimsuit Pattern Roundup

It is deep in summer here and we’ve been at the beach and pool a ton already. All this fun in the sun has made me face the fact that swimsuits wear out and need updating regularly, so I started hunting for some fun new patterns to round out my bathing suit wardrobe. Making swimsuits is one of my favorite parts of summer!

Turns out I found quite a few great patterns, both in the Indie pattern world and our tried and true Big 4 brands.
