Welcome to the January 31st, 2021 Edition of Lingerie Sewing Round Up!

If you are new around here, the Lingerie Sewing Roundup is a curation of a few projects, tips and tutorials, and ongoing events in the lingerie sewing community. These posts will encompass swimwear sewing and activewear sewing as well. It’s a quick catch up up for you to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea. The roundup is posted twice a month, on the 15th and the last day of every month.

New Swim Pattern: Olive Top

We also have a few pattern releases from Bikini Design Club. One of their release is the Olive Bikini Top. According to the pattern company:

Bikini pattern top Olive is a bandeau top but we also suggest you using it with a strap over the neck if you like. You can also insert Padding!

It’s a non reversible top but we sewed it both ways so you could see the difference.

Includes 2 back pattern pieces, one for you to include a clasp and other for straps channel.

You can purchase the Olive Top Pattern here.

There is a video tutorial on sewing the Olive Top pattern here.

New Swim Pattern: Mith Swimsuit

The other pattern release by Bikini Design Club is the Mith Swimsuit. According to the pattern company:

Mith is a swimsuit pattern with a low back V shape.

The center back seam is scrunched so it even gives the V shape more effect.

With this low back and no straps crossing to help keep everything in place, it’s important to keep this as it is: a Non reversible pattern.

Side darts makes this pattern fit you very nicely.

The back is cheeky!

There is a video tutorial on sewing the Mith Swimsuit here.
