WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE BARRETT SWIMSUIT KIT

Rubber elastic (for shoulder straps)

*Fabric and trim quantities are enough to make 1 swimsuit for all sizes.*
*Patterns are NOT included in DIY kit and must be purchased separately here and here*
*This DIY kit is for a variation of the Barrett bralette featuring fold over elastic at the neckline, underarm and top back band. Click here for tutorial.*
*Elastic band on the Barrett bikini top and Noelle bikini bottom are made of self fabric with wide elastic encased inside. Neither have a pattern piece included, so use the following steps to make and sew it:

1. Cut casing out of main fabric so that it is twice the width of the elastic plus 1/2″ for seam allowances. Casing should be the same length as the elastic, and the elastic should equal the circumference of the bikini top and bottom. The Noelle bikini bottom was lowered 2″ at waistline to account for band. 
2. Sew the long ends of the elastic and the casing with 1/4″ seam allowance. Use a straight stitch.
3. Fold casing in half lengthwise and insert the elastic inside. Pin together.
4. Pin elastic band to bikini. Seam on casing should align with one side seam on bikini. Sew elastic band the bikini with a lightning stitch. If you have a serger, finish the seam allowances with a serge.

*Madalynne reserves the right to substitute fabrics, elastics and all findings if the pictured trims or notions become out of stock.*
