Nowhere with free swimwear patterns, but the KwikSew ones are very good and excellent value for money.
G'day Christine
I just finished making a swimsuit for myself about 20 minutes ago. Mostly I use KwikSew books for my patterns but end up making changes to suit myself. The books are often on eBay and cost much less than new, just make sure they have the Master Pattern Sheet.

Hi Christine,
Probably 3 years too late for you, but for others sake I have a swimwear/dancewear pattern making website that teaches you how to make your own patterns (I teach fashion students) and even has a feature that you put in your own measurements and it makes patterns precisely to fit you ... all happily free for the sake of education

Hi, Stuart! Welcome to my original sewing haunt! I keep telling folk about your pattern and know-how on the swimwear stuff. I like the look of the revamped website.
Can you get here via a news group conection rather than sewgirls? A lot of folk here have sewgirls killfiled for the amount of spam they get through it.

Tis true.
And everytime i visit the site for a refresher i always find myself stuck there till i finish reading practically everything ... again.
And everytime i finish i have the desire to knock out a family worth of suits and such and i want to go find a muse but DW is rarely a-muse-d by the notion :D

I usually swim 2-3 times a week, for an hour at a time. And I SWIM, not guddle about nattering. I manage a mile a session, on a good day. Swimsuits that actually fit well are rare beasts and expensive, and even the best tend to rot in six months or so... I have a collection of 'fit where they touch' Tesco specials, which, for the price, are not bad (£10 each or there abouts).
Once I get a space in the sewing timetable, I shall start some serious swimsuit experiments. Some plain cheap & cheerful swimsuit fabric and a pair of scissors and a tape, and I'm away! :)
'Guddle'? What a delightful word, that's definitely one for the list of words that should be.
DISCONFECT - blowing on a sweetie dropped on the floor to remove any germs that might be present.
AQUADEXTROUS - Possessing the ability to turn the bath tap on and off with your toes.
CARPERPETUATION - The act, when vacuuming, of running over a string or a piece of lint at least a dozen times, reaching over and picking it up, examining it, then putting it back down to give the vacuum one more chance.
FRUST - The small line of debris that refuses to be swept onto the dust pan and keeps backing you across the room until you finally decide to give up and sweep it under the rug.
LACTOMANGULATION - Manhandling the ¡§open here¡¨ spout on a milk container so badly that you resort to the ¡¥illegal¡¦ side.
There are others.......
Thanks for the new additions to my vocabulary! I plan to memorize and use them. Emily
I like this. It might have helped me last spring. I made 8 skating dresses in a week for the learn-to-skate groups in an ice skating show.
One of the hardest parts was taking the 4 way stretch pattern I had and converting it for the Walmart sale two way stretch fabric I was using.

Good lowlands Scots/Fife word for messing about in water.
"Free Palestine"???
How about "Leave Israel Alone"!
Or "Let Israel Exist"!
Well, you wouldn't want to PAY for it, would you?
How about them leaving everyone else alone?
It does already. So does Palestine. They BOTH need to get their acts together and stop bombing the crap out of innocent bystanders on both sides.
It's very curious that 20% of the population of Israel is Arab, Palestinians, who vote, hold seats in the Knesset, and participate as full citizens -- including military service. The ones who send rockets into Israeli population centers don't want citizenship, they want the entire country. They have vowed to push the Israelis into the sea. It's even more curious that Palestinians can live freely in Israel if they accept citizenship (which includes not attempting to overthrow the government or kill their neighbors) but not in Arab countries where they are put in camps and generally despised.
Hmmm I thought this was a thread on sewing swimwear? Didn't realise I was required to justify my political beliefs? I ask you, if there really is a God and we plonked him/her down in Jerusalem right now, who's side do you think he/she would take. I doubt either, however like the greater majority of humanitarians out there, I reckon he/she would be very upset that the average palestinian was suffering so greatly. Heck Moses got kicked out of the promised land for far less than what the Jews are doing right now. Think about it. I don't care too greatly for the politics and religion of either side ... but I do care about children dying in their hundreds because of the arrogance of the religious.
How about I put it this way ... stop worshiping and start loving ... I bet God if he/she exists would be very happy with that statement.

Hi Kate, long time no see. Unfortunately I can't get newsgroups anymore (dumb ISP). I haven't seen you on TSF for a while either ... or did you change nickname? I've missed your very obvious experience and knowledge. Is there another way to get to this group??
I've been thinking about starting up a site called "Make Clothes Not War" to send clothes (new or secondhand that we've repaired) to war ravaged countries. I was first struck by the scenes of kids walking around barefoot wearing just a torn TShirt and nothing else. There are many aid organisations that distribute food and medicine which have my utmost respect and admiration because they do so under the most dangerous conditions. Very few seem to concentrate on clothing however.
The reason I bring this up is because not only does clothing keep you warm or cool, but it also serves to protect you from things like insects (think malaria ... I've had it three times!) ... not to mention clothing can provide a sense of hope and pride which can help to lift a community.
The CNN photo of the little palestinian girl in the torn white dress, holding the hand of her dead mother trying to get her to wake up just haunts me ... and no amount of religious or political justification fixes it. I make no apologies for the "Free Palestine" logo on my site.

Palestine does NOT exist and that is seen as a problem by many people of the world.
Palestine has not existed since 1948.
The 1947 UN approval for the partition of Palestine did not give anyone, anything and especially not a place called 'Israel'.
'Palestinian' does not equal 'Arab' just as 'Jewish' does not equal 'Israeli'.
Do you know anything about the size of the Gaza strip or anything about which nation's controlled it and when (or indeed anything at all about it)?
