Calling all makers, swimsuit stitchers, and print lovers! You asked, we splashed (okay, dashed) to make it happen — introducing our brand-new Full Metre Swim Kits, designed to take the stress out of swimsuit sewing and let those big, bold prints shine like they were born to. Think of it as your swimsuit-making BFF in a bag. What's Inside the Kit? Glad you asked. Each kit includes: ✅ 1m of Swim Print – perfect for large-scale prints (so no flowers where flowers shouldn’t be 👀)✅ 1m of Swim Lining – soft, supportive, and ready for action✅ Rubber Swim Elastic – the good stuff that holds everything in place✅ Matching Gütermann Thread – because clashing thread is a crime✅ EXCLUSIVE Sew-In Label – a little luxe detail to say, “Yes, I made this” The only thing not in the kit? The pattern. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with recommendations. Like the Poppy Swimsuit from Edgewater Ave — it’s the one we used here...

This kit? It’s got your back (literally). Ready to Make a Splash? Our swim kits are limited-run, curated for print lovers, and made to help you create a truly wearable work of art. Whether you’re diving into your first suit or are a seasoned swim-sewist, this kit’s for you. 👉 Shop all Swim Kits 👉 Learn More About Print Placement So, what do you think?
