Seamwork Style Ideas
If you’re sewing your own swimsuit, why not sew a cover-up for the beach or pool?
Here are a bunch of Seamwork patterns that make comfy (and stylish) swim cover-ups.
Sew the Almada robe in double gauze for a comfy cover-up.

The Kari romper makes a great cover-up that’s easy to slip into

For a classic beach cover-up that you can also wear to a restaurant or the grocery store, sew the Maeby dress.

You can’t go wrong with the Quince day robe at the beach or poolside.
