HOW TO MAKE BATHING SUITS - INTENSIVE

$1,500.00

Monday thru Friday

July 17-21, 2023

10:00AM-5:00PM (30-minute break)

The swimwear category of the fashion industry has been growing very fast in the past few years.


Bathing suits are made from knit and stretch fabrics. Patterns and sewing techniques are different from woven fabrics. We start the class by explaining the difference between knit and woven fabrics, knit fabric properties, stretch and recovery factors, and how they affect the final garment fit.


Students will learn to make the bodysuit sloper/foundation pattern with a correct fit. From that sloper/foundation pattern, they can design any style of bathing suits, from one piece to two pieces. Students will then design and cut a one-piece swimsuit with lining. Participants will learn how to use the overlock machine and apply elastic and lining to complete a bathing suit. They will leave the course with a perfect bathing suit sloper/ foundation- value in over $300.00- and a complete one-piece bathing suit designed and made by them.


Certification of completion included.

REQUISITES: You need to know basic sewing and how to use the serger/over-lock machine. I addiction, IIntroduction to Pattern Making Workshop.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT US:

"For years I have been dreaming about becoming a fashion designer but always found it to be unattainable. This school has changed that.
I leave every class so confident and excited about what I have learned and can’t wait to come back. The schedule, class size, cost, and talent of the professors are almost too good to be true. But trust me, they are."
