You have inspired me to make a swimsuit. Clearwater, here I come!

A swimsuit seems so intimidating but you made it sound so straightforward. And I love all the fabric options you provided. Thanks LN!

I was intimidated also but I just finished my first swimsuit less than a week ago and am already sewing up another one as the first one turned out so great and was easier than expected. Just take your time sewings it.

I’ve made swimsuits in the past, but not for me… finally this is a collection I can make for ME!!!

I love the dress, but the swimsuit is one that I would feel comfortable wearing in front of others. Great job Tessa and Tami.

Ooh, I would love to win some fabric from any of these shops to make a new swimsuit with this awesome pattern!

I have never sewed a swimsuit, but now I can't wait to make the swim dress!!

❤ your swimsuit collection with all the mix and match pieces. So cute!

I can’t wait to make a tankini! I’ve never sewn a swim pattern before. Once I heard LN was offering one I was ready to buy it. I have some swim fabric in my stash waiting for the perfect pattern. This has just regenerated my sewjo and I can’t wait to print my pattern and get sewing. Thank you for the fabric buying options as well. Those will be needed for some new swimwear. ❤🎉😊

Have fun! Can't wait to see what you sew!

With so many options the Clearwater swimwear pattern offers, I'm excited to be a first time swimsuit sewist!

Thank you for sharing information n breaking down the four swim fabric stores. Can’t wait to get sewing 🪡

I'm not new to swim, however I am a HUGE fan of Love Notions! I am excited for the Clearwater.

I love the Clearwater for its many options and the classic silhouette. It’s so versatile and not just for swim, but for intimates and loungewear too!

I LOVE the swim dress and the shorts. This pattern will be perfect for my next charity polar bear dip! This will also be fabulous for when we have water days at my school or go on field trips with my kindergarten kids. I can also see my teenage daughters requesting this as sleepwear! Thank you for also including a Canadian shop!

Thanks for this swim pattern . I have been looking to try my hand at it !!

Thank you for the links to the shops for fabric. One of the hardest things about purchasing fabric online is knowing where to find quality fabric.

I think the dress would make a great tennis dress, too!

Exactly! So many uses! ~J

Want to make those shorts. All the testers look great.

At last a bathing suit that fits all of my coverup needs! I can’t wait to sew one up.

Kudos to the testers - this is going to be a popular pattern ❤

I love using an elastic foot on my serger for attaching swim elastic. As soon as I got used to it, it made the process so much easier!

I have never made a swimsuit but after watching this video I feel like I can do this! Thank you for sharing where you purchase fabric. ❤

It’s tricky for me to work with swim fabric, but I love to have a suit in a fabric color that I love and that is made for my body! Thanks for this video!

This swim pattern checks all my boxes: good coverage, two piece, excellent instructions. I can do this!

Love these fabric tips! A walking foot is also game changing for sewing with swim. Can’t wait to sew a swim dress!

Make a swimsuit that fits?? Yes, please!!

I really love the swim dress with the shorts. Great video on making the suit.

Thank you for showing and talking about how to purchase quality swim fabric ❤

This sounds like a really quick fun pattern … at least it does until I get started😂 I love the little dress.

Such great options! Thank you to the sponsors for the swim fabric!

A wonderful swimsuit collection. Looking forward to sewing it up!

I've never sewn a swimsuit or active wear but have been waiting for Love Notions to do a pattern. I'm sick of ill fitting clothing (especially swim wear). I love Raspberry Creek Fabrics! I had a friend make me and my daughter a swim suit using their swim fabric. I love, love, love their colors and prints!

I like the looks of this pattern and can't wait to try sewing it up. The testers have all done a great job.

I love the look of the swim shorts with the crop top. I would definitely like to try sewing this and feel less intimidated as I have made bike shorts before.

Never think of sewing my own swimsuit, but I will give it a try. I appreciate all of the patern included. I can make one that suits my needs. Thank you Love Notions.

I remember my mom sewing a bathing suit in the 70’s and how overwhelming it seemed. I am getting braver with the idea of sewing my own and this inspiring video and pattern may have pushed me over that proverbial edge. Thanks!

My girls and I are so excited to try this new pattern!! We also appreciate the great variety of online places to shop for swim fabric as the local box stores only offer 1 or 2 choices. With 3 teen girls and mama all having different body styles and shapes we’re looking forward to being able to customize our suits without compromising modest coverage and with the fabric choices you’ve offered we won’t look like the Von Trapp family in The Sound of Music when we go to the pool!! Lol THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for these new shops to me. Definitely will look into these new outlets for fabric. Thank again.

You're very welcome, happy shopping/sewing! ~J

I am excited to try sewing swimwear for the first time. I am quite short and fluffy, and I find it hard to find swimsuits that work for me. I love how easy Love Notions patterns are to customize!

This is a great package with such a variety of swimwear. Thank you LN 💖💖💖

It's so helpful to know where to buy swimwear fabric. I've wanted to experiment with sewing a swimsuit but didn't know what fabric I needed.

All of the pieces look adorable. I am going to give the Sports Bra a try. I am thinking it will be great for our summertime farm activities and to wear at work. I like that its not the "typical" looking racer back style.

Finally a swim outfit I believe I can make. Love this. Always like shorts for my bottom and the tankini or dress will be perfect for me. Thank you.

I love all the variations with the Clearwater. Sewing swimwear is much easier than i thought it would be!

I totally agree!

I have never made a swim suit or sewn swim fabric. I look forward to trying this pattern and shopping at these fabric shops.

Wow! I love the swim dress! But then again I love the tankini and I don’t even know where to begin on the fabrics lol! That peacock print is so eye catching and so pretty! I know that is a must have. I recently got a beautiful black cover with piano fringe that would look so great over a swimsuit or the dress in the peacock print! Oh yeah! So I hope I hope I hope 🤞 I am lucky enough to win some beautiful fabric ❤Good Luck to everyone 🦋

Never sewn swim before so appreciate the tips at the beginning of the video!

How fun! I think all of your swimsuits turned out fantastic! I love the idea of being able to customize the pieces to what I would feel most comfortable wearing. Can’t wait to check out all of the fabric options!

I have never attempted a swimsuit but after seeing your pattern and watching this video, I am going to try it. Wish me luck!

Great tips for swim fabric. It’s always so challenging to know what you are buying online especially for swim fabric!

Love your new pattern, and so generous for the fabric shops for the giveaway!

I can't wait to make every single piece of this collection! I just got a projector, so this will be my first project.

I'm willing to try swimwear since Tammy makes such great instructions!

Thank you for the list of fabric stores. Can’t wait to make this. I love swimsuits with shorts. PERFECT.

Thank you for all of the great information for buying fabric and supplies for making swimsuits!

I am excited to see a bathing suit pattern and look forward to having a new suit to wear.

I have always been hesitant to try making swimwear,but all the options of this pattern must have something that will be just right for me! 😊

I can't wait to save up some money to get my swim fabric to make my own custom made swimsuit. Definitely going to make the swim dress, bike shorts, tankini top and sports bra. I love being able to custom size my clothes with Love Notions patterns. Thank you for all your advice, tips and tricks to help us novice sewers get professional results.

I have never made a swimsuit, but love the pattern options and the chance to make a suit that fits my taste.

I’ve been invited to a pool party. I haven’t worn a swimsuit in years. When I pulled mine out (Old Navy or Target, I can’t remember), it was just eh, not great. And it’s most likely too big. So I was planning a shopping trip when BAM Love Notions came through again! I’m madly shopping for fabric now.

This quite a nice collection! I also appreciate the new store names to check out. The testers did a great job and the combos are inspiring. Thanks!

I love that there are so many interchangeable pieces in this pattern package. I can't wait to buy some swim fabric from Discovery Fabrics and try these patterns out!

Lots of options for swimming suits and swimming fabrics. Love it! Thank you!

Fun pattern!!! It's been ages since I had a nice swimsuit that actually fit. I've made plenty for my girls when they were growing up but haven't made myself one in forever! I like that this pattern has so many options.

Love a great swim dress. Excited to see this pattern added to the LN collection

I’d love to win a gift card! Love the new pattern. It give the curvy girls like me a lot of options to feel comfortable in a bathing suit!!! Thank you

I have been waiting on "pins and needles" for this pattern to drop. I am soooo ready to go sew up some new swim stuff.

I am 76 and have never made swimwear because of my large bust. All of the testers did a great job and I appreciate them. They all looked beautiful in their suits.

So much variety represented in this pattern! Can’t wait to build my own collection using fabric from one of the amazing fabric shops you suggested. Thank you, Love Notions!

Wow! Lots of options with the Clearwater pattern! Well done LN! ❤

I’m so glad you guys have a swim pattern!!!

I look forward to making the swim dress. I love the coverage it has.

Love the new pattern and I love that you include a Canadian store!

Oh my goodness, this is so exciting! I love the idea of being able to make my own swimsuit that checks all of my boxes. Thanks for all of the great info and the chance to win such a cool prize. Good luck, everybody!

I am excited about a swimsuit with so many options! Can't wait to sew it up

So excited to make a TWO-piece swim dress!

I’ve never made anything like a swimsuit, but LoveNotion, you make me want to try♥️

Loving every aspect of The Clearwater pattern. I love the fact that I can make athletic wear, swimwear and even variations in between make for optimal versatility. Your patterns are always fashionable, proportionate and a pleasure to sew. Thank you for another winning pattern!♥

Love the pattern , especially the longer top with the briefs. Thank you LN

I’ve never worked with swim fabrics. I’d live to try it . The Clearwater pieces are great. First up for me would be a swim tank and then maybe the athletic dress.

So many great swimwear options! It may be time to give sewing a swim outfit a try.

I love the swim dress. Good hints on this video and thanks for the links to fabric stores. I haven't sewn a swim suit in decades.

So excited for this pattern and the give away! Surge and Discovery are great shops, and looking forward to trying the other two.

Thank you for all of the fabric shops you listed. It is so hard to find swim fabric locally and your Clearwater Summer Essentals pattern is perfect with the princess seams. It looks like it would be easy to sew and would look good on any figure type!

Just what I was looking for in a swimsuit pattern!

Thank you for the recommendations for where to get swim fabric and notions online. While online shopping is easy, it's also frustrating because you can't feel the fabric. We old school gals really miss that aspect of fabric shipping. So your recommendations are greatly appreciated. I've started sewing swimsuits, but I admit to still being intimidated, especially by applying the elastic. It's really nice to be able to come to you for support and tips.

Can't wait to sew up the dress and swim shorts.. such a great all around summer pattern(s) :)

I love all the options in this set! Having quality swim fabric can make all the difference when sewing with swim so thanks for all the options too!

I have been tempted many times to make a swim suit, and this collection will push me to it! Love the classic silhouettes and the mix and match aspect.

Thank you for sharing places to acquire swim ware fabric and the lovely pattern.

I live in Florida and I need a swimsuit I love Love Notions

I can’t very rarely find a rtw swimsuit that works for me. I’m learning to sew for myself and would love to try out the Clearwater patterns. Your videos are always so helpful!

I love the pattern! My fave thing is to use a swim fabric for the lining too it holds stuff in a little better then lining

I am looking forward to try sewing a bathing suit.

So happy to find these fabric shops. I knew about 2 but now I have 2 more to shop!

I really love the options offered with this swimsuit pattern!

I'm so excited to try making a swim ensemble for myself! I especially love the dress!

Thank you for creating this pattern. Cannot wait to sew one up. And what a great bonus!!! a dress to make a cover-up with!!!

I’m so excited for the swim dress option of the Clearwater pattern!

Thanks for this. Buying fabric online is so difficult.

I’ve never seen a swimsuit, but I’m gonna give it a go!
