Clearwater Summer Essential Sewing Course ~ I Highly Recommend this!!!

I have made and worn my Clearwater Swim dress over and over and over (I live on the coast). I’ve also made the Clearwater sports bra and brief for my little niece. My Clearwater Dress was my first ever attempt of making a swimsuit for myself and I like sewing and wearing it so much I made a second one!

For more info on the Girls Clearwater Summer Essentials along with more pics of Vivi Lou, visit this blog post.

Both blog posts contain specific sewing tips. The Ladies blog has tips on sewing the swim dress and how I was able to fit this to my petite busty shape. The Girls blog has some tips for sewing the sports bra and briefs. Both blogs have recommendations on elastic. You’ll even find tips for sewing with swim fabrics in both posts!
