Modest Swimwear
In our day and age, finding modest swimwear is almost next to impossible. After years of trying in vain to find something which would work for us, my sister finally decided to design her own pattern and make swimming suits for us. After being asked repeatedly where she got the pattern from, I am so excited to tell you that she has produced the pattern to sell! Until August 31, 2005, she is offering the patterns at an over 30% discount!

I think that would be too heavy to swim in. I know people did it in the past (swimsuits were made of wool too) but I don't think I could swim laps in that thing.
I love it, so I mentioned it on my blog. I wish your sister well in her swimsuit venture!
Does she have those designs in different fabric options? Or is what you see it?
I like them. Especially the one with the longer skirt.
Jessica: I used to have one sort of like the one with the shorter skirt. They're no harder to swim in. You hardly notice, really. I dunno about the longer skirt one though.
Lady4Jesus:She's not selling the swimsuits made up, only the pattern. So you can use any material you want!
Jessica: My sister just finished swim class and they had to swim 50 laps everyday of class. She managed just fine. :)
I'm having trouble with my 3-year old son and water. He is fine with the bath tub, but he is very scared of pools- even the little kiddie ones. So for now I'm not doing any swimming or any type. :/
I do think parents like myself who have kids that are scared of pools should keep trying! Swimming is a good skill to learn if at all possible. So I guess I'll try again next year.

That is so pretty! I have a suit from Wholesome wear or I might attempt to sew it! Do you find it hard to sew on swimwear fabric?

I would love somebody to define modest bathing suit. I obviously know that the bikinis we see on the beach are basically underwear - or worse but I have found many one piece and two piece (tankinis and boyshort bottoms) that I think are very modest. There is such a variety of swim suite styles now and many are, I think , very modest.

I would really like to know where you draw the line at modest and immodest because I think we have some different ideas about it.
I've made several suits myself, not quite as modest as your sister's pattern, Crystal, but more modest than what they have in the stores. I've had the best luck with completely synthetic fabrics as they last longer, but it is hard finding sufficiently THICK synthetics. What fabric does your sister use?
Note to martha:
Using a stretch stitch on swimsuit material makes it go easily. The only difficult part is remembering to NOT also stretch the fabric while sewing. :P
