Description
From the Designer Capsule #5, we are excited to present the Sorbetto Swimsuit pattern, a fun swimsuit with so many options!
Pattern Features:
The Sorbetto Swimsuit PDF pattern is for a swimsuit or leotard with color blocking and an optional fluttery statement sleeve. The V shape in both the front and back necklines make this swimsuit unique, while the sleeves offer both style and function. The sleeves are just flowy enough to help protect those little shoulders, but not so long that they will interfere with swimming or playing. If you choose not to use the sleeve, the colorblocking around the arm and side seam adds plenty of interest to the sporty shape.
There are views for both maillot or tankini and two bottoms options. One is a colorblocked bottom that subtly mimics the top, but each view can use either the banded elastic waistband or the standard elastic turn and stitch waist. Both are mid rise with a modest leg.
All pieces are fully lined and there is an optional shelf bra for those in the top range of the sizing. For those on the lower range, there is the option for a diaper snap panel, which makes changing into a swim diaper a breeze. No matter what size from newborn to 16 years, your girl will love a Sorbetto Swimsuit.
Fabric Recommendations:
4way knit stretch fabrics with at least 75% stretch, great recovery, and meant for swimwear. Fiber content should contain at least 10% spandex (also called lycra or elastane).
Notions:
3/8″ (1cm) braided, knit, or swim elastic not noniroll and not the clear swim type
3/4″ (18mm) braided, knit or swim elastic for view F and the optional shelf bra
optional WashAway Wonder Tape for ease in hemming the tankini tops
optional swim cups for tween/teens
optional snaps and scraps of interfacing for diaper snap panel
Skill level:
Advanced Beginner
Sizes:
Newborn to 16
