One topic, poolside glamour, and two segments make up this week's show. Yours Truly presents a knit cover-up that doubles as a dress and is enhanced with specialty stitching. Then, Meg Healy helps you look and feel your best in a flattering two-piece swimsuit. Note: If you're a one piece kind of person you'll still learn from the tips she presents with her two piece rendition.
Meg is a talented educator and the online Editor at BurdaStyle.com. Her two-piece suit is available as a digital download pattern Here.
In this segment Meg focuses on showing you how to make the bottom half of the suit, with tips for sewing on a regular machine as well as the serger. Click on the above image for Meg's instructions with step by step photos for her project.
Have you ever made a bathing suit yourself or even thought about it? Once you find a pattern that suits you (no pun intended) you'll be amazed at how easy it is to construct your own suit. If you're at all timid about the process I suggest starting with a swimsuit for a little girl. The fabric requirements will be minimal and the child you make it for isn't likely to complain much if it isn't quite perfect. Check out sewsassy.com for a great selection of swimwear notions and even a few patterns.
Awhile back I featured swimsuit sewing tips in a previous It's Sew Easy TV show. If you haven't seen it, you can watch the video for show 1109-1 HERE.

Next up is a swimsuit cover-up created with cover stitch decorative stitching.
This garment doubles as a dress as it's made from a simple and easy to sew New Look dress pattern. The obi sash elevates it to dress status and the comfort of the knit fabric makes this dress easy to pop on or off.
In this segment you'll learn to manage starting and stopping on a Cover Stitch machine, see how to flip facings for a decorative effect, and modify side seam pockets for a smooth, bulk free look on knit garments. And yes, of course you'll find instructions to help you make your own. CLICK HERE and you'll find what you need instruction wise.

By coincidence, I just ordered some new swimwear fabric from Fabric.com. Bright prints and good prices :-) I'm excited about sharing more swimwear related ideas on the next season of It's Sew Easy TV. Stay tuned!
