Minute Maillot SAL – day 2 (cut fabric and gather supplies)

July 9, 2019

Welcome to day 2 of our Minute Maillot sew along. Today we will be choosing the fabric, cutting it and gathering all necessary notions. To make the MM you will need swim fabric, lining, swim elastic and optionally power mesh or swim cups.

Judy made this very in depth video about various swim fabric, notions and how to accurately take your measurements to create the perfect custom swim suit. I highly encourage you to watch it:

For my Minute Maillot I decided to go with a gorgeous nylon swim I got from Boho Fabrics. I will be making the low back, mid front, high leg option with a bust lining. I am using solid black swim, also from Boho, for lining and cotton swim elastic for the arms, legs and neckline.

The Day 2 video is posted below. Check it out and once you are done cutting your fabric post a picture of your prepped fabric in the comments of the Day 2 photo of the SOS SAL album in the M4M & P4P Sew Along group.

Favorite/Fav Tee SAL – day 2 (choose and cut fabric)

August 7, 2018

Welcome to day 2 of our Favorite and Fav Tee sew along. Today we will be choosing the fabric and cutting it. You should have your pattern pieces ready from yesterday so now we will be using them to cut the fabric.

But first let’s talk a little about the right fabric for this pattern. As you can see in the video below I am using Bamboo Spandex from Fabric Anthropology for my dress. This is by far my favorite knit type for this pattern. I also like Rayon Spandex and Brushed Poly for it too.

If you are unsure about which knit type will work best for your desired look, take a look over our P4P University Knit Types blog. Judy also included a cheat sheet that you can print. If you are like me and sometime are just keen on using a specific print for a specific pattern, read our Different fabric, different fit blog post before you cut your fabric.

The Day 2 video is posted below. Check it out and once you are done cutting your fabric post a picture of it in the comments of the Day 2 photo in the M4M & P4P Sew Along group.
