Handmade Summer Wardrobe

Sewing your own beachwear is about more than just making clothes—it’s about creating pieces that carry memories of summer days. Each beach attire sewing pattern in this collection is designed to be practical for swimming or lounging, yet stylish enough to take you from the sand to a seaside café.

I choose designs that are easy to adjust, so you can play with different fabrics, colors, and prints to make them your own. Try a bold stripe for a statement bikini, a soft linen for a flowing cover-up, or a light cotton for a breezy wrap skirt. With every version you sew, your handmade summer wardrobe grows, giving you timeless staples you’ll love year after year.

Making your own swimwear and cover-ups means slowing down, enjoying the process, and ending up with pieces that feel truly personal. These patterns are simple enough for beginners and versatile enough for experienced makers who want to add their own twist.

Beachwear Patterns

In this collection you’ll find a mix of swimwear designs to suit different styles and moods. There’s a one-piece with contrast trim for a clean, modern look, classic triangle bikini tops, and a variety of bikini bottoms from high-waisted to Brazilian cut, each shaped to fit comfortably and flatter your body.

To finish the look, I’ve also included beach cover-up patterns—easy, breezy layers that are as enjoyable to sew as they are to wear. Together, these patterns let you create a handmade summer wardrobe that’s personal, versatile, and ready for sun-soaked days by the water.
