Beginner-Friendly Rubanette Swimwear Sewing Pattern

This beginner-friendly swimwear sewing pattern is designed for comfort, style, and versatility. The RUBANETTE swimsuit features elegant side cutouts that highlight the waist while maintaining a secure and comfortable fit. This pattern allows you to sew a reversible swimsuit, simply by using two coordinating fabrics, giving you two looks in one without any extra effort. Perfect for DIY swimwear, beachwear, and poolside outfits.

You also have the option to add a front zipper for a bold, sporty edge - or keep the front clean and smooth for a more seamless look. The pattern is suitable for four-way stretch fabrics like polyester, lycra, or spandex, making it ideal for a flattering fit on different body shapes. Despite its stylish design, this swimsuit remains soft, wearable, and thoughtfully shaped for everyday comfort.
